So, this is it: my pregnancy journal begins now! I've been waiting to start this thread for what seems like forever...and finally, here we go!!

I'm 8 weeks pregnant today and feeling nervous but super excited - because this journey is going to be SO worth it!!! I just know it.

This is the first time I've been pregnant, so everything is a whole new experience. It's both exciting and scary having no idea what to expect!!

The symptoms so far:
I've had mild cramping, which my doctor said is totally normal, but it's keeping me on edge! Also, I'm SO tired all the time - like, couch-bound tired! haha And my breasts are sore - they're huge and tender, which makes sleeping super uncomfortable!! I've also been insanely hungry, mostly craving carbs...and milk?? But that's probably just me.

I'm looking forward to hearing your stories and tips, ladies!!

Congratulations on your first pregnancy! It's an exciting yet nerve-wracking time, especially with all the unknowns and symptoms you're experiencing. Sympathy for the tiredness and hunger pangs! I remember those days; you're in for a wild ride, but it's so worth it in the end. Keep us posted on your journey and any questions you have along the way.
 
Thank you! It's kind of daunting especially being the first time and not knowing what to expect, but I'm so excited to meet our little one! Definitely feeling those weird symptoms already - the exhaustion is real!! Will keep you updated on my journey - almost 9 weeks down 😊
 
I remember those days; first-time moms have it really tough because everything is so new and uncertain. The excitement and anxiety are understandable - pregnancy is a fascinating yet challenging journey, but the reward at the end is just so worth it!

Stay strong, mama! You've got this. Keep us posted and congratulations!
