Everything you need to know for a smooth and stress-free pregnancy

So, you’re probably wondering who’s behind Pregnancy Lab… and why you should trust me with something as important as your pregnancy journey.

I get it! Because that was me some years ago. I was expecting my first child — at a time when I never expected to get pregnant — and found myself trying to figure out what I needed to learn.

I was uncertain and scared — am I doing this right? Will I be a good mom? — so I did what any rational pregnant person would do. I bought a jumbo size tub of triple chocolate ice cream and cried into a pillow while watching Bad Moms… five times over.

Then, I realized that ice cream probably won’t help my baby — at least not until he’d be born — and so I switched to devouring something that would. Information. Lots of it! I became a mean ice-cream-eating research machine, devoured every pregnancy-related book and podcast out there, and talked to every health or pregnancy expert I met. 

I wrote down everything I learned down so I could make sense of it all and remember it better. My friends noticed and started asking me to share my knowledge with them, so I uploaded it into a private drive. 

And then I realized — why not open this up to everyone, and invite experts to contribute their insights and expertise too?

And that’s how Pregnancy Lab was born, symbolically right around the same time as my second child… and has grown into a wonderful dedicated team I consider my second family. 

This is your hub for everything you need on your pregnancy journey — whether you’re just planning it, currently expecting, or have just welcomed your little bundle of joy.
