first time ever being pregnant....

hi this is my first time ever being pregnant, I took 2 clearblue digital tests and both said I was pregnant 1-2weeks which based on my research, I estimated to be about 3-5 weeks actually....that was a week ago so probably 4-6 now. I havent really had any symptoms other breast tenderness and slight breast swelling, random heartburn, and of course lack of period. at this point im about a week late for my period. I know its still super super early but ive also had kinda cramps, and tightening in my abdomen, and im always tired it seems. I was just wondering if its normal not to have alot of symptoms and what I can expect for months to come? and what are the steps I take from here on out with doctors and appointment-wise?

I did not start getting symptoms until I was 8-9 weeks along. Enjoy it while it lasts

First off congrats! No its not abnormal to not have many sypmtoms. With my first daughter I literally had none except heart burn. The doctor will usually set your first appointment around 8 weeks and then go from there :)

hey we have the same name :)....I had the same symptoms. Had no idea I was pregnant. Just no period n a lot of breast tenderness n feeling more tired than usual. And be thankful for it. I had 2 friends who had morning sickness so bad they were pretty much bed ridden for majority of their pregnancy. Schedule an appointment with the OB/GYN as soon as you can and congrats:)
