Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by an extra chromosome, it's not caused by anything you ate or did. Don't blame yourself or stress. Make sure to get your NT scan and double marker test done around 11-13 weeks.
In my first trimester, I felt so paranoid that I used to hold my tummy every time I coughed. But my doctor reassured me that baby is completely protected.
My doctor said early fatigue is mostly from the surge in progesterone and the extra work your body is doing. She did check my iron and thyroid since those can add to it. So it is normal but worth a quick blood check if it is extreme.
I remember hearing that little heartbeat for the first time at my scan and I just teared up. You cant really do it at home yaar. Wait for the scan, it's worth it.
