Early Pregnancy Guidance from Expert Midwives

Feel calm, confident and prepared — from early pregnancy to early parenthood.

In the early weeks, many women find themselves searching for reliable information while waiting for their first midwife appointment.

At Baby On Board, we believe families deserve calm, evidence-based guidance from the very beginning.

Our Early Pregnancy Guide was created to help you understand what happens next and approach the first weeks of pregnancy feeling informed and steady.

Our Approach to Inclusive, Respectful Care

The Baby On Board Early Pregnancy Guide provides clear, practical insight into the early weeks of pregnancy, including:

  • What to do after a positive pregnancy test

  • How and when to access NHS maternity care

  • What happens at your first midwife appointment

  • Understanding common early pregnancy symptoms

  • What to focus on during the first trimester

The guide is designed to help you move through early pregnancy with greater understanding and confidence.

Created by expert midwives. No overwhelm — just clear guidance.

THE EARLY WEEKS OF PREGNANCY

Early pregnancy can sometimes feel like a waiting period. You may have discovered you are pregnant but not yet had your first appointment with a midwife.

During this time it is very common to wonder:

  • What happens next in maternity care?

  • When will I see a midwife?

  • What should I be doing in early pregnancy?

  • What symptoms are normal?

  • How do NHS maternity services work?

Understanding what lies ahead can make these early weeks feel calmer and far more manageable.

This is exactly why we created the Baby On Board Early Pregnancy Guide.

OUR EARLY PREGNANCY GUIDE

Written by practising midwives, the Baby On Board Early Pregnancy Guide offers clear, balanced insight into the first trimester and the early stages of maternity care.

Rather than overwhelming you with information, the guide focuses on what matters most during the early weeks of pregnancy — helping you understand what is happening and what to expect next.

For many families, this guide becomes the first stop on their journey with Baby On Board.
