What do I do now ? First time pregnant

Hello, I found out last week I’m Pregnant after 4 years of trying with no success and, obviously I’m Over the moon and instantly contacted my GP to get the ball rolling I don’t really know the process and was told to contact them back at 8 weeks for a booking appointment, so is that is then ? I’m On my own until 8 weeks. That’s fine but I feel like I should be doing something, as a first time mum who has dreamed of this and who is overly cautious I just want to know I’m doing all I should be doing (context I’m in the northwest of England) thankyou
