YouTube was my bestfriend, follow the channel called "In the pink" she's a doctor and shared great info. Also pregnancy vlogs were comforting. Don't be afraid for when the baby comes. Moms have this motherly instinct in them. You'll just know exactly what to do. You'll know when your baby is hungry, you'll learn their cries. You & baby will be connected
You can download the baby center app and track what's going on with your body and the baby. You can also track your bump by taking pictures. Also, being anxious is perfectly normal. Its ok to tell your doctor how you feel. The hormones heighten the anxiety all the more too, remember that
@Allie That’s really cool. I wish I found out sooner. I had actually tested earlier in the month but the test was expired so it gave me a false negative. Took it this morning and was in for the shock of my life. I was also expecting my appointment to be much later but they told me they want to see me at 8 weeks.
@Indi I am going to look that up, thank you!

@Indi thank you!
@Elvira hey Elvira I found out on same day too and I’m already full of symptoms and food aversions. Anybody else ?
You can also start playing around with your registry and adding things you like. I find that it improves my mood 😅
@Grace Haha, yeah looking at baby stuff just makes my systems disappear. I also talk to it; well we named it bean for the meantime, and strangely that eases me.
You can start with picking your prenatal and getting that going. Preparing for morning sickness ie: vomit bags and preggie pops. Start looking at your skincare and body care for products that are safe for pregnancy and make the swaps as needed. Start with smoothies or juicing getting those vitamins in and just try to rest and take care of yourself. The first trimester is rough and moves slow but just put yourself first. What to expect while expecting app is a good one- week by week updates and daily tips for how you can take care of yourself.
Hi there! We’re about the same I’m 4 weeks 2 days today! I’ve known since January 14th and my appointment isn’t until March 3rd. I can’t offer much advice since I’m in the same boat but if you ever need to vent or chat with someone on the same timeline don’t hesitate 🩷😊 I will say the anxiety is so real and my best successes have just been to try and stay busy!
