First Child.... EVER

I just found out I was pregnant YESTERDAY. It's safe to say that I'm excited but I'm also scared and nervous, not knowing what to expect. Any advice ?

Congrats on your pregnancy!
I remember my first pregnancy I was obsessed with dates, like counting weeks gone by, and days to next appointment, and stuff like that. But 10 months is almost a whole year! It became just too much counting and it eventually got on my husbands and my nerves. We stopped enjoying being pregnant and there were only numbers and explanations of those numbers and dates to other people.
So my advice would be that, just don't try to control dates, they will come and go eventually, don't focus on them you'll become desperate to rush them :) and just enjoy every step of the way

Get a proper pregnancy and childcare book (or 3).  It will make you feel a lot more prepared.
