Positive pregnancy test at the end of August or beginning of September: what will the next 9 months be like?
Congratulations! 🌸
If you discovered your positive pregnancy test at the end of August or the beginning of September, a wonderful adventure begins… and your baby should make an appearance around May or the beginning of June .
Here is a short month-by-month guide to know when the major milestones of pregnancy fall — and above all, to savor every moment.
September (1st month) – Announcing it to yourself… and maybe to the future dad
That magical moment when two little bars change everything 💕.
Generally, the first official ultrasound has not yet taken place, but you can already choose how to announce it to your partner or family .
At Chou Rose , my best-selling products for this stage are:
-
Personalized wooden pregnancy announcement 🌿
- The pregnancy announcement for dad with a pregnancy test
October – First ultrasound
Around 11 to 13 weeks of pregnancy , you'll have your first ultrasound . You'll see your baby move for the very first time. 💓
This is often the time when we start talking about it with loved ones, sometimes after the first trimester.
- The special Halloween announcement 🎃 (perfect if you want to surprise your friends and family with a touch of humor and seasonality!)
November – The first small changes
Your clothes are starting to feel a little tight, your belly is still discreet but you know 💫.
Some mothers can already feel tiny "bubbles" in their bellies…
December – Hello baby bump!
The shapes are slowly taking shape and you could start taking monthly pregnancy photos 📸 (my chalk pregnancy milestone card is ideal for capturing this evolution).
It's also the time of year when we take advantage of the holiday season to make an original announcement under the Christmas tree .
- The gingerbread man has a message
- The Christmas bauble hides a message
January – Morphological ultrasound
Between 22 and 24 weeks of gestation , this is the ultrasound where we observe the baby in detail… and where you can choose to discover the sex 💙💗.
Why not organize a gender reveal with a pretty sign or personalized staging?
February – Baby moves a lot
The kicks become more pronounced and visible through the belly 🍼.
It's also a great time to prepare the nursery and start the baby registry .
March – The baby shower
Around the 7th month, we celebrate mom and baby 🎀.
Sweet decorations, souvenir photos, useful gifts… and why not a creative workshop to make a personalized Pink Cabbage announcement or souvenir?
April – Final preparations
The maternity bag is almost ready 👜.
We think of the little details: a “Welcome to the world” card for the first birth photo, a sign for the maternity ward door…
May / Early June – The meeting
The long-awaited moment 🤍.
These past months have been intense, filled with emotions and preparations… and everything really starts now.
