Early pregnancy can feel like standing at the edge of something you can’t rehearse for. There’s no guidebook, no guarantee, no one who can tell you exactly how it will feel or how you’ll manage. That thought can bring both strength and fear.

But no one starts out ready. Life teaches us through experience, not preparation. What you’re carrying now isn’t just life — it’s new knowledge, the kind that comes only when you can no longer rely on anything but trust.

Believing in your ability doesn’t mean feeling strong all the time. It means continuing, even when you doubt yourself. It means knowing that strength can be quiet — present even when you can’t feel it. Your body carries wisdom far older than your thoughts.

Alma’s advice:

• You don’t have to know how — you’ll learn as you go.

• Let your doubts exist; they mean you understand how real this is.

• Remember: millions have done this before — but no one in exactly your way.

Handling something you’ve never done before isn’t about being complete. It’s about beginning — and trusting that you’ll grow into it.
