Well it sounds like you are off to a great start....keep your positive attitued! Especially if you get morning sickness...just keep going as long as you can. Get lots of rest, drink lots of water, and enjoy and relish all the fun things about pregnancy...baby clothes and things, names, etc. They are the things that get you through if you have it rough (I am 13 weeks and still down with morning sickness) But no matter what, you will know you have this little being inside you that you have to take care of. It is a beautiful and wonderful thing. Stay happy! Good Luck and Congradulations!

aw congrats you will do fine just try and relax as much as you can and go for a nightly or daily walk to stay some what fit. drink plenty of water it is important and use the cocoa butter faithfully it didn't work for me but it does for some. Of course you need to eat healthy and you don't need to overeat just because you are pregnant I made that mistake and I gained over 70lbs. I am 39 weeks and four days and can't wait to see my baby just hang in there the first few months take some time to realize you have a baby growing in there but when you see him/her on an ultrasound you will feel better and especially when the baby kicks for the first time. good luck to you and have a healthy pregnancy take care.

Take care of yourself. Don't make the mistake I did with my first child and use the pregnancy as a license to eat! I did lose the 60 pounds, but it took almost a year, and I might have been able to have an easier childbirth if I hadn't gained so much! Eat healthy! Also get lots of rest, and just enjoy this time of your life.

Find a good OB/ Take ur prenatal vitamins get plenty of rest and eat lots of small meals. I'm 61/2 weeks w/ my second and enjoy every moment of it ask the doctor plenty of questions they're use to it first time moms ask crazy questions lol i did. dont strain ur self by over extending urself. Most of all Have fun take a video tape to ur first ultra sound that way u can watch it at home and show people ur baby move.
CONGRATS!!!

Congrats! You will most likely have a lot of advice from your family and friends, good and bad so you have to do what you think is best. Eat healthy and get lots of liquids. I never can hardly drink water still without getting sick so I eat popsicles. I am 18 weeks and still sick but you could be one of the lucky ones that don't stay sick long. You just got to keep up the positive attitude and enjoy it!

enjoy every moment of pregnancy. If something doesnt feel right or concerns you contact your doctor ASAP better to be safe than sorry and they are paid to answer your questions so dont worry about bothering them. And get all the rest you can get cuz once youre little one gets here you wont get much. lol. Also, in case you get morning sickness (or all day sickness like me) water and saltine crackers helps alot. Good luck I wish you and your new baby good health.

Invest in some pillows.... you can prop yourself up night when you get so big that you can't find a comfortable position to sleep in. Buy lots of stretchy yoga pants (or track pants or PJ bottoms) too. They are cheaper than maternity clothes and just as comfortable! Congrats on your baby!

ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF IT!! They grow up fast! Make sure that they are love and well taken care of. In a few years you'll look back and wonder where all the time as went.

wow, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! plan on investing a lot of money on diapers. those are gonna go real quick! if you do have a baby shower, hope that you get tons of diapers!
eat healthy, and eat tons of greens, mainly spinach. eat lots of spinach, it'll help during the child birth, it'll help you push...my mom was told this by her doctor, and she did as she was told...and the child birth was much easier.
even easier for baby # 2.
again congratulations!!!
