From the first heartbeat to the first cry, we're with you every step. Tools, guidance, and expert care from Arizona's most trusted OB/GYN practice.
Enter the first day of your last menstrual period to estimate your due date. Not sure of the date? Your MomDoc provider can help determine this at your first prenatal visit.

Every week brings something new. Tap a week to see what's happening with your baby and your body.
Weeks 1-13. The foundation is being laid. Your baby grows from a cluster of cells to a fully formed (tiny!) human with a beating heart.
Weeks 14-27. Often called the "golden trimester." Morning sickness typically fades, energy returns, and you'll start feeling movement.
Weeks 28-40+. The home stretch. Your baby is putting on weight, practicing breathing, and getting ready to meet you.
The weeks after delivery. Your body recovers, your baby grows fast, and we see you for postpartum visits. This chapter matters just as much as the nine that came before.
Starting around week 28, tracking your baby's movements is a simple way to check in on their well-being. Most providers recommend counting to 10 kicks, which should take less than 2 hours.
