Pregnancy

Welcome to this special phase of life – your pregnancy!

For many, this is one of the most exciting times in life – marked by a changing sense of self and the awe-inspiring realization of how incredible our bodies truly are. A new life is growing inside you! Wow!

We’d love to accompany you on this journey, offering valuable tips, tricks, personal stories, and fantastic products – all with heart, expert knowledge, and a strong commitment to quality and sustainability.

We have a major advantage: we’ve been through this phase ourselves multiple times, and we want to share both the good and the challenging experiences with you. Because both are part of the journey and both are important.

It’s important to know: "One size fits all" doesn’t apply here. Take what suits you and feels right. Let go of what doesn’t belong to you. In the end, it’s your body and your decision. You know yourself best and you know what’s right for you.

Tips

The Babybox Pregnancy Calendar

We have compiled the most important information relevant to your pregnancy that you should remember into a focused calendar.

Tip

Organizational Matters:

The first few weeks of pregnancy can be quite a challenge: overwhelming fatigue, tender breasts, possible nausea, and worries about doing something wrong or that something could go wrong. Add to that hormonal changes, which – as the cliché goes – can set in really quickly. All of this can feel pretty overwhelming.

That’s why it’s especially important now to focus on what feels good for you – whether that means starting your evening earlier or canceling an appointment. Anything that feels right for you and the little one growing inside you is allowed.

Still, there are a few things you shouldn’t wait too long to address. We’ve summarized those for you here.

Food

Foods & Vitamins in Your Pregnancy

You have a positive pregnancy test result, but still have to wait 1-2 weeks for an appointment at your gynecologist's office? We recommend familiarizing yourself on the basics of proper nutrition now. After all, you're not just feeding yourself now, but also your baby.

A balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients not only supports your well-being but also promotes the healthy development of your baby. We have gathered the most important do's and don'ts on this topic, as well as what your body particularly needs right now, for you here.

Our insider tip from the USA! Marma Health is a platform designed to support women and mothers with specific nutritional information for the childbearing years. The journey of fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum can be both beautiful and challenging, and nutrition plays a pivotal role in the health and well-being of both the mother and the growing baby. Sadly, studies indicate that most pregnant individuals suffer from nutritional deficiencies, which can lead to unpleasant symptoms and potential complications. Recognizing this alarming statistic, Marma has developed a platform that offers evidence-based guidance, personal support, and a wealth of resources to empower you on your path to optimal nutrition.

The mobile app provides personalized weekly content, direct 24/7 access to nutritionists, and soon-to-be-launched daily and weekly health insights.

We love it!

Book

Guter Hoffnung

Midwifery knowledge arrived during the 21st century. This book leaves no stone unturned when it comes to the topics of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum life with a baby.

Maternity- the transition from woman to mother!

A change that isn’t always immediately noticeable and takes time. The transition to motherhood is a profound experience that deserves space and recognition. Unfortunately, there is still a lack of knowledge and societal acceptance to fully understand and support this important phase.

Recommendation from the heart

First aid for newborns

In emergency situations, every second counts, especially when it comes to children and babies. Their bodies are still developing, more sensitive, and react differently than adults. That's why it's essential to know the specifics of first aid for the little ones – particularly the lifesaving pulmonary resuscitation, which is significantly different from that of an adult.

It's a thought no one likes to entertain: that their own child could end up in a dangerous situation. Yet, having the knowledge and ability to act correctly in an emergency provides you with security and confidence. A first aid course offers you these invaluable skills. From the 29th week of pregnancy is the ideal time to engage with this topic. For us, such a course is an indispensable part of pregnancy – for you and your partner.

We've summarized the most important points for you and are introducing an excellent company that supports you in doing the right thing at the crucial moment.

Tip

Childbirth preparation

Childbirth is one of the most natural experiences, isn't it? Regardless of whether it's a cesarean section or a vaginal birth, we believe that good preparation can contribute to facing childbirth with more ease and possibly with more serenity.

Here, we have compiled our experiences and tips for you on what to consider and what you can prepare. Here you will find our recommendations for online childbirth preparation courses, whether for one child or more, book recommendations, and some profiles that offer great and important tips on this topic.

Newborn celebrations - Baby showers and Blessingways

Spirituality and anticipation have to be there. But what is it all about and how do baby showers and blessingways differ from each other?

We will break down what you should know about these two topics, where they come from, and how they work.
