What is pregnancy?

Pregnancy is when a mom’s body grows a new person inside her tummy.

Imagine your tummy is like a toy box. When you’re pregnant, a tiny baby, like a little doll, starts growing inside that toy box. At first, it's just a small dot, but over time, it gets bigger and bigger, like when you fill up a balloon with air.

Your body works really hard to help the baby grow. It’s kind of like having a new roommate who needs food, water, and space. Your heart pumps harder, your tummy grows bigger, and soon, poof!, the baby is ready to come out and meet the world.
