First timer

Hey everyone. I’m in my 30s, abroad in Germany, just got married, and 9 weeks pregnant with my first.

Honestly this first trimester has been a lot for me. Early scares, anxiety through the roof, barely eating, doing most of it solo while my husband is on missions or emotionally unavailable. Finally got a strong heartbeat confirmed last week 😮‍💨

Just looking for my people. Other first time moms, military moms, anyone who’s navigating the reality of pregnancy abroad.

12 weeks til due date and omg panic has set in 😳

To think we have 6 weeks of the summer holiday then at the end of the 6 weeks, we have only 6 weeks left is crazy! The first 10 weeks of my pregnancy went so quickly so it feels like those last 12 weeks are gonna go fast!! I haven’t even got anything yet apart from the odd bits of clothing and my first’s neural clothes from when she was a baby!

Pregnancy pillows

Hello, can anyone recommend a good pregnancy pillow? It’s one to lie back on when I’m in bed. I’m so sick of all the big pillows I have in bed that take ages to set up and are not comfy x
