New here....Got a BFP yesterday!!!!!!!!!!

in 1st Trimester

I think I'm in shock.....I just set myself up that it wouldn't happen right away, so I thought this moment wouldn't come for at least a few more months of 'trying.'  I can't believe it!! :)

I've made my first appt with the doctor, which isn't until December 1st.  I feel like I should be doing something between now and then.....Any advice?  Books to start reading?  What should I expect for the first appointment?  Or do I just sit and wait and the dr will tell me in December......

I used to post a lot on the Knot and Nest and all the girls there were so friendly and helpful....I'm looking forward to joining this new community!! :)

    Congrats!  I wish I had more advice but I am still pretty new myself!  I do suggest that you read "The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy"  This book was entertaining and very informative!  Happy & Healthy 9 months to yoU!!!

    Congrats and welcome! I'm reading What to Expect and also Your Pregnancy Week by Week- I like them both.

    If you haven't already, pick up some prenatals :)

    Congrats!  Like a pp said, make sure you're taking prenatals if you're not already.  Then it's a waiting game.  Welcome to the bump!  Big Smile

    Yay!!  Congratultions!!

     

    I just got my BFP this morning :)

     

    Between now and your first appointment: start taking prenatal vitamins.  Your doctor may give you a prescription but until then you can just get OTC ones at the drugstore.  Best advice?  Relax.  It's the best thing you can do for your baby.

     

    The most helpful book I had in my first pregnancy was The Mother of all Pregnancy Books.

    Congrats! At your first appointment you'll probably meet the doctor, go over family history, get a pap done and have blood drawn.

    Welcome and congrats!!  I bought "Your Pregnancy week by week" for myself, "Dad's Pregnant Too" and "Quarterback Dad" for DH.  All 3 are really good and informative.  Enjoy!

    Congrats!  I know what you mean about that feeling that you should be doing something, even though there's really nothing to do. 

    I got the Mayo Clinic book on pregnancy (can't remember the title but it'll come up if you search on Amazon)--I really like it but it's not a very chatty tone, so if you're more into that get one of the others.  I also got a pregnancy and nutrition book (to help my "doing something" mentality).
