A New Movie About Pregnancy – 40 Weeks Movie #40WeeksMovie

This post is brought to you by the 40 Weeks movie and The Motherhood. All opinions are my own.

Pregnancy is such a wonderful time in your life and there’s a new film that celebrates that. Pregnancy can be the most joyous time of your life but as new parents or even second time parents you’re always wanting more information. That’s exactly where the new 40 Weeks Movie aims to step in and help inform new and expecting parents about what is to come throughout their pregnancy journey.

40 Weeks is made for both moms and dads — presenting a few different families’ experiences on their journey into parenthood. In the film, universal milestones of pregnancy are presented hand in hand with the personal experiences of the film’s generous and amazing expectant couples. Their diverse backgrounds will resonate with audiences, reassuring any mom-to-be that she is not alone. I really felt like I got to connect with each expecting mom and by the end I was in tears watching them bring their new bundles of joy into the world.

40WeeksTo ensure that all health care information in the movie is accurate and current, 40 Weeks’ key partners include the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses, the world’s largest nursing authority dedicated to the health of women and babies, HealthyWomen.org, the nation’s leading independent health information source for women, and the March of Dimes, the most respected non-profit organization dedicated to helping moms have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies.

I got a sneak peak at the movie and watched it with my husband. When I was pregnant with my first or even my third child this movie would have been enjoyable to watch. Not only does it give you useful information but you really get to connect with each story and by the end I couldn’t wait to meet each of their new bundles of joy.

I would love to know what is one thing you wish you had known during pregnancy?

Comments

  2. I’ve never been pregnant before, so I’m not exactly sure. I know I have friends who would have enjoyed seeing this movie and knowing a little bit more about the process!

  6. I’m not sure I’d watch a film about pregnancy. I do love reading some of my favourite bloggers pregnancy updates though. I wish I had know before pregnancy not to have any expectations.

  8. I haven’t been pregnant yet, so I wouldn’t know yet! But it’s great to be able to follow along with other women and see their experience! Thanks for sharing!

  9. The movie 40 weeks can really help upcoming parents be more equipped with the process of pregnancy. This would really be a great and educational watch.

  10. One thing I wish I would have known is how nauseous I would be. That way I could have stocked up on saltine and sprites instead of having to send my husband out in the middle of the night.

  12. I worked up until the last day and my first time working while pregnant and this was my first baby to come early. Maybe work is not such a great thing while pregnant.

  14. I think every pregnant woman can relate to the movie. It’s really great when you have a supporting husband who watches over you especially when you’re pregnant and taking care of the baby as well.

  15. I suffered from morning sickness all threw both of my pregnancies. I wish i had of known to try the sea bands to help relieve some of the nausea.

  17. What a great movie. I wish I had known how miserable it would be to be 8 months pregnant in the middle of summer. I was way to big and it was way too hot.

  18. I wish I would’ve known that I was going to have so much darn heart burn and to have more tums in the house, and never to read Dr. Spock. Take one day at a time, and listen to your Mom. My mom helped me the most during my first pregnancy after that it was a breeze!

  19. Looks and sounds like an interesting movie, never been pregnant so no idea what I should know or wish i knew lol

  20. I can’t wait to see this as we are trying to get pregnant. Or maybe I should wait till after the baby? lol

  28. Love this. It’s a beautiful journey even though mine was rough. It’s definitely a journey I would never forget.

  29. I can’t think of anything that I wish I would have known during pregnancy. Thankfully I had two good pregnancies. Now there are a ton of things I wish I would have known about motherhood. lol

  31. The first thing I wish I had known was what labor would have been like. I also wished I would have known what medicines I could take instead of trial and error.

  32. I want to see that movie. I had a really crappy pregnancy, lol I read a lot about what to expect and none of it prepared me for everything that I went through. I wish I had been more active during my pregnancy! It’s really important!
