First Trimester - Carried and Carrying - Pregnancy Devotional

A 13-Week Pregnancy Devotional Journal

While a new life is growing inside you, God is also at work in your heart.

Carried and Carrying is a Christian devotional journal created especially to walk alongside mothers through the first 13 weeks of pregnancy. Written by Evelina Esquivel during her own pregnancy, it brings the real experiences of the first trimester together with the truth and comfort of God’s Word.

Each week explores the physical, emotional, and spiritual realities that can come with early pregnancy — the joy of discovering new life, exhaustion, nausea, uncertainty, releasing control, and learning to depend more deeply on the Lord. Every devotional points your heart back to Christ, reminding you that while you are carrying your baby, God is carrying you.

Each week includes Scripture, a devotional reflection, baby-development information, changes Mom may be experiencing, a prayer, and journal questions, creating intentional space to draw closer to God as you prepare for motherhood.

The journal also includes a 13-week pregnancy tracker/calendar and open space for recording thoughts, prayers, moments of worship, memories, and anything else you want to preserve from this special season. Its journaling-style design encourages you to write, take notes, color, and truly make the book your own.

This journal isn’t about having a perfect pregnancy. It’s about learning to trust a faithful God through the beautiful, exhausting, and unknown parts of it.

A new season is beginning. Your baby is being formed, your heart is being formed too, and you are not walking through it alone.

Please note: If at any point during your pregnancy you walk through the loss of your baby, we’ve included a bonus devotional created with great tenderness to walk alongside you in that grief and help you remain close to God.
