Your Pregnancy Week By Week

Judith Schuler co-wrote a pregnancy book with an OB/GYN, and this podcast is essentially that book chopped up into short weekly listens that track the same way a doctor tracks your pregnancy: by gestational week. Each episode runs about five to seven minutes, which is short enough to fit into a commute or a lunch break, and the content sticks close to what a clinician would actually tell you. Week one through forty, plus postpartum, plus a handful of episodes on preconception and common complications. Schuler doesn't try to be your best friend or process her own feelings at you. She reads as informed, steady, and a little bit matter-of-fact, which is what a lot of first-time parents actually want when they're spiraling at 11pm wondering if a particular symptom is normal. The format means you can start listening at whatever week you happen to be in and work forward. You can also hand it to a partner who wants to understand what's happening without having to read a four hundred page book. It's not flashy and it's not trying to sell you a course. It's a quiet, clinical, week-by-week companion that treats pregnancy as a medical process worth explaining clearly.
