hey all I’m Emma, I’m in my 1st trimester. First time mum to be and I’m actually petrified of what’s to come. I don’t know what to expect as I’m only in my 1st trimester. What’s normal and what’s not. Hope your all well :)

Hi Emma
Welcome to the crazy journey that's pregnancy.
Personally, I would try and relax, take it easy. How far in tri 1 are you along?
Every pregnancy is different, some women go the whole 9 months as if nothing is wrong, while others suffer badly with morning sickness and other aches and pains.
Do you have a midwife appointment booked?
It's always good to write down any questions you've got and ask them when you see her. They are very reassuring and no question is too stupid.

I am 7 weeks so far. I have one booked for Tuesday, I have lots of questions but I don’t want to bombard her with all of them. I’m anxious of everything and any tiny problem I panic. I have had a slight problem with boobs aches but I know this is normal :)

Honestly, you can ask anything you want. They are there to help and listen. Any small worry, aches, pains, niggles they will give advice.
Don't feel stupid at all. Pregnancy is a big thing and a lot happens to out bodies during this time. It's only normal that you have so many questions

Thank you! It means a lot :)
 
Snap what you’re feeling is totally normal I’m a first timer and everything terrifies me, I haven’t ever even fed a baby or put a baby grow on and I’m 38 years old!!! Just got to take it as it comes and we are all hear to help and offer advice xx

Aha, I understand that too. I just want to chill out but that’s not going to happen lol
 
Don't worry too much about it, when the baby comes, the midwives will explain loads! I thought it was scary when I got home though.. but then, just being us three, was the most wonderful feeling!
I won't say it's easy in the beginning but after a while you will find a rhythm.

Never be afraid to ask questions! And it's good to question some people's advice (trust me, as soon as the baby gets there, your family/friends/acquantances will become baby experts:lol:) and maybe look up a few things on Google before trying something.
My mother told me I had to give my daughter water when she was a few hours old, because babies "get thirsty", which is such bad advice!! I had told her the midwives told me it was a big no-no, but she didn't believe me and kept on telling me to give her water! For days she kept insisting to give water, until I looked up articles on google and sent a dozen of them just to prove my point. She never did tell me that again! :rofl:

Trust your own instincts, only you as a mother will be able to read your baby's signals better than anyone! Never get bullied into doing something you don't want or don't feel comfortable with.

If you ever need a question answered, I'm sure so many wonderful women on this forum will be able to help you with advice!x
