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?

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!
