Mãe de primeira viagem: como dizer isto em Inglês? [expressões com a palavra FIRST]

If you're a parent expecting your first baby, we can call you a first time mom or first time dad. It's pretty simple. A good thing to add about that pregnancy thing is that if you're expecting a baby, no matter if it's the first, second or third baby, you're an expectant mother or father. Do you know anyone who's expecting their first baby? A first time mother that's terrified at the thought of having all those responsibilities? Leave your answers in the comment section.

Now that you know the expression that maybe brought you here, let's get to know some other expressions with the word first. So imagine you're a very funny guy and no matter what the circumstances are, you always find a way to crack a joke. One time, you're with your friend who's suffering for the loss of his little dog. It died a few days ago and he's still pretty sad. Instead of saying something comforting, you say something very jocular and ironic. Here's what you say: Don't worry. Everything's going to be fine. The first hundred years are the hardest. Now you know we don't live hundreds of years to expect things to get better eventually. That's just a way to say that your whole life will probably be difficult.

Now let's think about the Bible. It's a book that gave us many expressions that we use to this day. Here's one of them: cast the first stone. You must probably remember the time when Jesus defended an adulteress against those who would stone her, saying "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." So today, when you cast a stone at someone, you're the one to make the first criticism, you're the first to attack. That's it for today guys. Talk to you next time!
