Just entered week 8 and this is my first pregnancy so everything feels new. Nausea is there but what else should I expect around now? First time moms pls share ur experience.
At 8 weeks, your baby is about the size of a raspberry! You might be feeling super exhausted, bloated, and dealing with morning sickness. Just eat small meals, rest as much as you can, and hang in there.
This is around the time doctors ask for basic blood tests and the first ultrasound scan. If you don't have insurance, look for a good government-approved lab or ask your clinic for package options to save some money.
When I was at week 8, my morning sickness was at its peak and I was constantly worried if the baby was okay. Did anyone else feel completely normal on some days and super sick on others? It really made me so anxious.
Week 8 is when you usually have your first dating ultrasound to check the baby's heartbeat. If you experience any severe cramping, spotting, or heavy vomiting where you can't keep water down, please contact your doctor immediately.
