Congrats to you!!! How exciting!
I'd love to have another baby any time now my "baby" is turning 4 in two weeks and I can't believe how quickly the baby stage passes!
I had horrible morning sickness from as early on as I could remember, I didn't find out I was pregnant until 8 or 9 weeks when I went into the doctor to confirm after taking a test that said I was positive! So I do believe it is normal to wait until 8 or 9 weeks to see a doctor. My friend found out early on and had to wait a few weeks to get to see the doctor. I had my first ultrasound around 12 weeks and those are so amazing.
For my horrible morning sickness the doctor gave me some medication to help with it. I would be throwing up all day long it was not fun! Make sure to drink lots of water too!! I had baths but not really hot ones.
sounds like you already know what to do for now so take it easy and enjoy the next 9 months, they are wonderful.
