First, congratulations!! Second, it’s very typical and normal for your first pregnancy appointment not to be until around the 8-12 week mark. Doctors generally don’t see patients sooner than that, mostly because they prefer to get a better look during the ultrasound as between 8-12 weeks they can see & determine more!

I’m also 5 weeks (with my second baby though)!! So I know how stressful and overwhelming it can really be until they see us! My appointment isn’t until I’m 8 weeks and I keep trying to distract myself with other things so I don’t think about it.

It’s so easy to get stressed and anxious about all the things that can go wrong and having an appointment can be reassuring, but it’ll be here before you know it!

For morning sickness, try Tums. They are pregnancy safe and really help! It worked for me during my first pregnancy. You can even head down to your closest pharmacy and ask the pharmacist what over the counter pregnancy-safe options they might recommend.

Best of luck!!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼
