Pregnant at 5weeks++

I’m 38 this year and this is my first pregnancy. It’s a pregnancy ive been praying for and I’m so happy it happened. Due to my age, I’m very nervous about the gynae appointment I’ve scheduled next week, it’s such a mixed feeling of happiness and anxiousness. I’m feeling nauseous and some tiredness during the day but still manageable. I hope everything will turn out fine at my first scan.. any mummies feeling the same?

It touched my heart, and i melted the moment i saw mine. such a blessing. may everything go smoothly for you too, mummy!

Congrats! I'm 40 and also preg with my first child. I'm coming to 11 weeks and had 2 ultra sound. It's very surreal when you can see the tiny heart beating. As for me, I'm 24hrs tired all day. I do get heartburn a few x a week. vomit probably 2x a week. Luckily I can wfh most of the time, else I don't know how to keep my head up during work

Congratulations! Hope everything will turn out fine for you. I’m at 12weeks and 3 days now. The tiredness is getting slightly better and I’m getting some energy back. Heartburn and acid reflux still happens daily but I can feel it’s improving too. Hang in there!

I was 39 with my first pregnancy. I went to see a specialist for the entirety of my pregnancy because of my age. God bless it wasn't a difficult pregnancy. It is very normal to feel tired and overwhelmed. Don't worry and enjoy your journey. It will be okay.

I'm 45 this year and am currently expecting my 2nd at 14 weeks. I had my first child at 41 with no complications except for GD. So, try not to worry so much! Rest as much as possible! Normal to be tired, our body is working very hard!
