What to expect
Early pregnancy can feel invisible from the outside and very loud on the inside. Symptoms come and go from day to day, and that is normal. With 38 weeks to go, the priority this week is rest, gentle food and your first antenatal appointment.
Tips for this week
- Track your cycle so you know your fertile days and your dating is accurate later.
- Keep moving gently — a daily walk helps circulation, mood and sleep.
- Take a prenatal vitamin with folic acid and vitamin D.
