Get lots of rest, stay hydrated. Try not to worry too much. If you get really concerned about something don't be afraid to ask your doctor. Enjoy this exciting time. And I 2nd what the others have said as well. Congratulations!

Omg! Abbb01- ppl would see that I was pregnant (with my daughter) and just tell me their story... I didnt let it get to me, I was just like "any why did you feel the need to try and scare the **** out of me!" Or ppl just telling you negative things like "oh you are going to be so miserable" "just wait til..." There are plenty of positive and fun things about being pregnant.
And it sounds like you have a great relationship with your husband. Keep the closeness! My husband was very involved in the pregnancy and even came to the showers. I loved that it was about us as a family! Our daughter didn't change our relationship much over than making us closer and even better as a couple! Congratulations!

Congrats! Id say just try to eat healthy and get ur prenatals Babycenter.com has a pretty good list of stuff u shouldn't eat and if u get ms try to atick to bland foods and snack frequently empty stomachs do not help and try different prenatals if u can keep em down. If ur husband already helps out around the house u are lucky! Otherwise start "training" cuz there will be ****** days at some point and things will get difficult to do be it just from bending over or out of breath etc. I if id been able to talk to myself when I was first preggo I would have not googled every little pain and twinge and listened to womens horror stories cuz it stressed me out for no reason

Sleep while you can! And keep the lines of communication open. You're both going to be having a lot on your mind and there will be a lot of changes. It's important to let each other know how you're feeling. Get ready for some crazy mood swings ;) if you keep communication strong and read about what is happening to you and to baby together that will help too.
