First Time Pregnant? 
How do I know what is normal?
 
As you prepare to become a parent during pregnancy, remember
 It's normal to:
Experience Highs and Lows
Pregnancy can be an emotional high as well as an emotional low, and this is perfectly normal. You may be happy about the life growing inside, but you can also be overwhelmed by a sense of responsibility and concerned about the impact this new life will have on your existing life.
Pregnancy is a time of emotional and physical change so it's natural to feel overwhelmed with different kinds of emotions.
Have Lots of Worries
It is normal to wonder whether you will be a good parent or whether your baby will be normal. Community resources are available to support new parents and help them develop their skills and confidence in parenting. All parents need help - don't be afraid to ask.
Discuss any worries you may have with someone you trust and feel comfortable with. This may be your doctor, nurse, midwife, a friend or a member of your family.
Require Extra Emotional and Physical Support
During pregnancy it is natural to feel the need for extra support, both emotionally and physically.
It is normal to feel irritable and moody at times, while feeling thrilled at others.
