hello everyone

[Alissa8665]

Hi, I'm Alissa, I'm 23. I have just found out I'm about 5 weeks pregnant and I'm delighted but terrified. I know the risks in the first trimester so any advice to ease my mind would be appreciated because now I feel like I don't even want to move incase I hurt him or her! Is there anything specific I shouldn't be doing or should be doing???
I look forward to chatting with all you mums to be!

hi alissa, welcome to the forum

the main thing is just to take it easy, don't overdo it, sleep if you're tired, eat and drink plenty, and take some pregnancy vitamins

hope that helps xx

Yes, thank you
any advice at all. I think I might get an early scan at 7 weeks so I know something is still there, haha. I feel nervous because obviously I won't feel anything for a good while. Is 7 weeks the earliest a scan can be done?
