Early Pregnancy

The First Days and Weeks After You Test

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.

Pregnancy exhaustion takes most new moms by surprise.

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."

A newly pregnant woman has more questions than a homeland security interrogator. Some of the most common are answered here.

It took me by complete surprise! I was fine until I was in a car, then I was O-U-T. Could not say awake in a car the first few months to save my life!
