What happens in 1st month of pregnancy?

My husband and I just found out I'm pregnant, it's very early days. We are so excited but also have so many questions! What changes should I expect or look out for during this very first month of pregnancy?

I'm just researching for future, but from what I've read, in the first month, the embryo is tiny, like a poppy seed! And even though you might not feel much, major organ development starts. Also, hormones start to go crazy, which causes early symptoms like mood swings and tiredness. Fascinating, no?

Oh, the first month! Honestly, I barely knew I was pregnant for most of it. My periods were late, then a faint positive on the home test. I had some tiredness and felt a bit bloated, like PMS, but nothing major. The real symptoms started kicking in a bit later for me.

In the first month, the main thing is recognizing you're pregnant and consulting a doctor. They'll advise on what exercise is safe. Usually, light activity like walking is good, but no intense workouts without clearance. Focus on nutrition and hydration too, it's foundational.

Hey! So in the first month, honestly, for many, it's just a missed period and a positive test. Some might feel super tired or a bit moody, kinda like PMS. Don't stress too much about feeling specific things; every body is different. Just confirm with a doctor and take your prenatals!

I totally get it, that first month can be such a whirlwind of emotions and questions! Most women are just finding out then. You might feel very tired, have some breast tenderness, or even a bit of nausea. It's mostly the body starting to adjust to all the hormonal changes.
