Ok so I'm 5 weeks pregnant. Yay, this happened so quickly, just a week ago i was saying it won't happen this soon. What do i need to know? I'm booked in to see the DR on Monday what does he need to know? They say the first 12 weeks is the highest risk, but how high is high?
Is there anything i should or shouldn't be doing?

Wow massive congratulations!
25% or 1/4 high. BUT that is 1/4 chance in yourself. Not compared to other pregnancies. You obviously shouldn't be drinking, exercising excessively and drinking too much caffeine. Drink a lot of water, take pre-natal vitamins and get lots of rest. Doctor needs to know whether you plan on going public or private and if you want a private obstetrician (in a public hospital) or to just use midwives/doctors. Have a think about what type of birth you want and start considering some hospitals in the area :)
You'll get so much advice here so I'm just gonna keep it simple.
Simply relax and enjoy the experience, take the outrageous advice with a grain of salt and trust your intuition (and your doctors/pregnacy professionals).
Huge congrats too 😀😀
