Just relax, live day by day normally. Don’t think too much about symptoms unless you’re bleeding. You’ll have to get used to the long wait in between scans as you go further into your pregnancy journey.. sometimes 8 weeks, sometimes 9 weeks have to wait for the next scan. In between is just listening to baby’s heart rate. Time flies so while you anticipate your next scan, be sure to talk to your belly, eat your folic acid or prescribed supplements, have well-balanced meals, drink plenty of water, squeeze in some walking, spend time with husband, spend some me time, and enjoy all the days of your pregnancy as once baby is out, you’ll miss every single bit of it. The toughest part is 1st trimester, 2nd more relaxed, baby bump starting to show, still can do things normally. When you reach 3rd trimester, start preparing for birth and after-birth already.
Once baby is out, a whole new level of stress, anxiety, pain, aches, constant worrying, over-thinking, 24hrs-not-enough days, pumping sessions, crying baby, sleepless nights etc awaits you.
