What to expect when you're pregnant for the first time?

For a lot of people, the first sign of pregnancy is a missed period. Most pregnancy tests will be positive by the time you've missed your period. Other early pregnancy symptoms include feeling tired, feeling bloated, peeing more than usual, mood swings, nausea, and tender or swollen breasts.

Many women choose a spring baby because it pretty much avoids being pregnant during those summer months and the final trimester happens in winter, which means you'll be wrapped up anyway. Any pregnancy hot flashes will be much easier to handle when it's milder outside.

Can babies in the womb sense their father? The truth is, an unborn baby can feel a touch from anyone, but babies start to show a preference for touch that's familiar. Pregnancy is a time for babies to get to know the people who will be important to them in the outside world.

There are a number of breasts changes during pregnancy that you should expect: Growth and enlargement – Around weeks 6-8, your breasts will get bigger and continue to grow throughout your pregnancy. Expect to go up a bra cup size or two.

What do your nipples look like in early pregnancy? You will probably notice that your nipples get bigger and darker. The same goes for your areolas—that's the darker-colored skin around your nipples. They also may look a bit more textured than before, with tiny bumps appearing on your areola.

Generally speaking, breastfeeding your husband or partner is OK. It's not perverted or wrong if you want the person you are intimate with to breastfeed, or if they ask to try breastfeeding or taste your breast milk.

Every woman is different, but your breasts are likely to be around one to two bra cup sizes bigger than before pregnancy. Your band size will probably increase too, as your ribcage expands to make room for your baby.
