Things that have helped others
Breathe into your back
As your baby grows up toward your ribs and your posture shifts, deep breaths can feel harder to come by. A simple technique called back breathing helps you find more air.
Relieve rib and side aches
Build back your iron with food

The whole app
It gives more than it asks.
Each week brings a few things you can reach for: comfort for what your body is doing, food that nourishes you. The journal has a question waiting, whenever you want it.
01
This Week
What's growing, what's changing, every single week.
02
Journal
Prompts that inspire, and room for photos too.
03
A moment to breathe
Short calming practices, wherever you are.
Keepsake book
A book only you could have written.
Everything you write and photograph quietly becomes real pages. Order it as a linen hardcover from $99 whenever you're ready, and the whole of your pregnancy sits on a shelf instead of a screen.
- Nothing to assemble: the book is made from what you've already written.
- Yours either way: the pages stay readable and exportable whether you order or not.
Reflection · week 5
I give my care to what I can shape,
and my peace to what I can't.
Every week brings a reflection to sit with, and a handful of comforts that genuinely help.
Lesser-known comforts
- A warm Epsom salt bath for tired muscles
- Bare feet on the earth for a few slow minutes
- A tart cherry nightcap for easier sleep
This Week
Week 10

Journal
There's no blank page to face.
A few questions each week, to help you notice how it's going and hold onto what you'll want to look back on.
- Write to the questions, or straight past them.
- Add a photo to any entry, and it stays with what you wrote that week.
- Anything you save lands here too: a reflection, a comfort, a recipe you liked.
Nourishment & relaxation
Gentle ideas for the week you're actually in.
Every week comes with a recipe for exactly where you are, from something settling in the early weeks to the iron and protein your body needs later on.
Beef & bone-broth pho
A warming, iron-rich broth, light enough to manage when there's not much room left.
Brazil nut yogurt
Selenium, protein and berries, for a morning when cooking is too much.

Questions
Good to know
Is Aurelia a substitute for medical care?
No. Aurelia is an app to accompany your pregnancy and provide opportunities for reflection. It cannot monitor or diagnose any health issues or replace professional care. For any concerns about your health or your baby's, always speak to your midwife or doctor.
What if my due date changes after a scan?
You can update your due date under Settings and your weeks will be recalculated.
Do I have to write in the journal?
Not at all. The journal is an optional feature. Journaling can help manage stress, reduce anxiety, process difficult emotions, and bring clarity to your thoughts. That makes it a potentially valuable exercise during pregnancy where there are often a lot of unknowns and it's a time of personal change. But you don't have to use it if it doesn't work for you.
What happens to my journal if I stop subscribing?
We will save all personal content unless you delete it. Everything you've written and photographed remains readable and exportable, as a keepsake PDF or a machine-readable copy, whether or not your subscription is active.
Does Aurelia work offline?
Yes. If you try to upload content or save journal entries and happen to be offline, those changes will be saved and uploaded when you get back online.
What if something goes wrong in the pregnancy?
You can pause the app in any week. If you'd like a refund, please reach out to our team.
Is there any content on Aurelia after the birth?
Yes, there are a few pages for the fourth trimester as well. You can also continue using the journal feature.
