Im new to this.  Can you guys tell me everything you know about the first trimester?

I agree with these ladies so far...I'm a ftm and a week ahead of you. Already had an issue that sent me into the er....and have migraines for the first time in my life.

Anytime hun also like Sasha said get What to Expect when Expecting. It is totally like the pregnancy bible going over every worst case scenario if need be. I looked at the book more than talked to my Dr if that tells ya anything lol.

Look it up on Half Price Books online. Bet you can find it for under $20 there.

This website has taught me pretty much evrrything I know about pregnancy...honestly, just dont drink or smoke and drink lots of water and take prenatals...no tattoos or piercings...dont take any medicines unless your Dr says its ok, and if you get morning sickness nothing will cure it, only make it barible, you just have to find what works for you. And bleeding call your Dr or go to the er, no matter what! Any other questions just ask on here :) Congrats!!

I never had mornin sickness but I was pretty darn tired! If yu work i would suggest going to sleep a couple hours early because even if I slept from 8pm-7 am I woke up extremely tired! Also yu probably wont show or feel movement until later in yer second trimester...i started feeling movement at 17 wks and really didn't start showing until 24 wks

Yu will probably also experience ligament pains which feel like cramps I wouldn't worry about those unless they are extremely painful or accompanied by blood. Yu may also spot after sex!
Thats all I can think of lol congrats btw!

Sleepy, nausea/losing cookies aka morning sickness lol, cramping a little spotting but not nothing major, food cravings, food aversion...

Dont panic about not showing as it will happen in due time. Enjoy fitting into your current clothes longer before having to get maternity clothes.

Also look into maternity bras or sports bras - when your boobs get bigger and start aching you'll understand lol

A great source is the book What to Expect When Expecting.

Once that morning sickness kick in, it's a wrap, not unless you get lucky & don't have any :)
