Actually yaar, in the first week you aren't technically pregnant yet! It's just your period week, but your body is prepping.

Just focus on eating healthy and taking your folic acid now. It's too early for symptoms, but if you feel any unusual pain, do ask your doctor.

My mother told me you won't feel anything in the very first week. Honestly, the doctor also said pregnancy is counted from your last period date, so no symptoms yet.

Absolutely nothing happens except you hoping and praying, haha! It's actually just your last period week, so enjoy the symptom-free days while they last.

I panicked trying to find symptoms in week 1, but there are literally none. Your body is just getting ready, so relax and don't overthink.
