When Pregnancy Feels Real One Minute — And Unreal the Next

The moment you see the second line, everything changes.
And yet… sometimes it doesn’t feel real at all.

One minute, your heart is racing with excitement.
Next, you’re staring at the wall, wondering how life can keep going the same when something so big has just happened inside you.

This back-and-forth feeling is widespread in early pregnancy.
Your body may already be changing, but your heart and mind need time to catch up.

There is no “right” way to feel right now.
You don’t need instant joy.
You don’t need constant excitement.
You don’t need to feel connected all the time.

Pregnancy begins quietly for many women.
Before the bump.
Before the announcements.
Before anyone else knows.

And in that quiet, uncertainty often shows up.

That doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.
It means you’re human.

This calendar was created for these exact moments — when pregnancy feels both real and unreal at the same time.
A place to pause, write, and remember how it felt in the very beginning.

Not to rush your feelings.
Not to fix them.
Just to hold them.

One day, these early pages will become part of the story you tell your child — about how their life began, and how you became their mother long before you held them in your arms.
