What's in your weekly email

Your baby

Week by week

How big your baby is, from a sesame seed to a watermelon, and the milestones they're reaching, like a first heartbeat, first kicks and opening their eyes.

Your body

What's normal

The symptoms you might notice, simple ways to feel more comfortable, and clear advice on when to call your doctor, midwife or hospital.

Your to-do list

One week at a time

Scans, check-ups and vaccines to book, plus when to pack your hospital bag and set up the nursery, so nothing sneaks up on you.

Pregnancy tracker FAQs

How do the weekly pregnancy emails work?

Sign up with your email address and due date, and we'll send you an email at the start of each week of your pregnancy. Each one covers how your baby is growing, what you might be feeling, and a short to-do list for that week.

Are the pregnancy emails free?

Yes. The Baby Central pregnancy emails are completely free, and you can stop them at any time.

What if I sign up partway through my pregnancy?

That's fine. You'll start receiving emails from the week you're up to, so you won't be sent a pile of weeks you've already passed. You can read any earlier week on our blog.

Can I change my due date?

Yes. If your due date changes after a scan, select 'Manage preferences' at the bottom of any of our emails and update it. Your emails will adjust to match.

How do I stop the emails?

Select 'Manage preferences' or 'Unsubscribe' at the bottom of any email. You can stop them at any time, for any reason, and you don't need to tell us why.

Our pregnancy content is general information and isn't a substitute for advice from your doctor or midwife. If you're worried about you or your baby, contact your hospital or maternity unit. In an emergency, call 000.
