Questions, questions, questions. Once the big question, "Am I pregnant?" is answered positively, the little questions in early pregnancy take over. Like, "When does morning sickness kick in?" "How long will I be able to work?" "Is the baby healthy?" A first-time mom in early pregnancy will be overwhelmed with questions.
For Katie-Anne Gustafsson, mother of two from Sweden, the health of the baby was the first thought that came to mind after learning she was pregnant. "Having miscarried once before getting pregnant with my first child, and then twice more before becoming pregnant with my second, my first question on all pregnancies following the first miscarriage was, will I lose this baby?" says Gustafsson.

Elizabeth Ferree, mother of four from Kansas City, Mo., had many questions, as well. "With my first child the one question I worried about was if I would make a good mother or not," says Ferree. "After the first child you wonder if you can love equally. You find out you can, but it is such a worry during the pregnancy."
