The 40 Weeks Pregnancy Podcast is a week-by-week companion created by Vanessa Merten of the Pregnancy Podcast. It’s designed to meet you exactly where you are in your journey, offering clear, concise updates on your baby’s growth and the physical transformations you’re experiencing.

By tuning in weekly, you get a grounded, manageable way to understand the process without feeling overwhelmed. The structure makes it easy to follow along from the early weeks through the final countdown, connecting the dots between medical information and your daily reality. Vanessa Merten’s approach is straightforward and supportive, focusing on evidence-based details you can use immediately.
