Estimated Read Time: 7 minutes
As we move into 2025, the landscape of pregnancy, maternal health, and parenting continues to evolve. With new research, shifting cultural priorities, and an abundance of digital resources, expecting moms are more empowered than ever — but also more overwhelmed. This blog breaks down key trends, statistics, and need-to-know facts for moms preparing to give birth in 2025.
Whether you’re in your first trimester or approaching your due date, here’s what you should know to feel confident and supported on your journey.
Moms are placing more emphasis on nutrition, mental health, and preventative care. In 2025, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) encourages integrating wellness routines like prenatal yoga, meditation, and functional nutrition into daily pregnancy care. Nearly 72% of pregnant women are now seeking holistic or integrative care options during pregnancy — a notable jump from 55% in 2020. One simple way to align with this movement is by choosing nutrient-rich, clean-label snacks that support maternal wellness. Due Date Prep offers science-backed options for modern moms who want convenience without compromise.
Research continues to support the benefits of date fruit for late pregnancy. Studies show that eating 70–75 grams of dates daily during the last four weeks of pregnancy can help ripen the cervix, reduce the need for medical induction, and potentially shorten labor. Due Date Prep was created with this exact science in mind — no blending, counting, or guessing. Just grab a bar and go.
A recent survey found that the top concerns for expecting mothers in 2025 include the safety of food and supplements, time-saving products, transparency in labeling, and ease of use. In fact, 78% of moms in their third trimester are actively looking for clean, pregnancy-safe snacks that require no prep. Due Date Prep is made with whole dates, cranberries, coconut, pumpkin seeds, almonds, and a hint of cinnamon. It's vegan, kosher, non-GMO, and completely free of artificial sweeteners or preservatives. Plus, it was formulated by pharmacists and nutritionists to meet the unique needs of third-trimester moms.
Mental health remains a top priority. One in five women experience a mental health condition during pregnancy, yet it’s still under-discussed. In 2025, OB-GYNs are more likely to screen for mood disorders during routine visits. Incorporating small daily rituals — like a short walk, journaling, or a nourishing snack — can support both emotional and physical well-being.
By the third trimester, moms are turning to practical hacks that make the final stretch smoother. Most have their hospital bag packed by Week 36. Meal prepping and freezing easy-to-reheat meals is a postpartum lifesaver. Packing a few extra Due Date Prep bars in your hospital bag gives you a quick energy boost during labor. And tools like a whiteboard or mobile app can help you track contractions, feedings, and sleep in the early days of newborn life.
2025 is the year of informed, intentional motherhood. With a growing wealth of resources, data, and support systems, moms-to-be are no longer alone on this journey — but they still need tools that make pregnancy feel manageable and empowering. Due Date Prep exists to fill that gap. Our snack bars are more than just food — they’re a way to support labor preparation, simplify nutrition, and give moms a trusted, science-backed option in the final trimester.
