What To Expect

in 1st Trimester

Hi Ladies,

Me and my partner have been TTC since May this year, I quit smoking to help our chances and tried eating a bit healthier and it seems to have worked! Took a test 2 days ago to get a very clear positive result on 2 tests. As this will be our first child we are both pretty clueless on what steps we need to take. Who do we speak to first etc. Any help/advice would be much appreciated :)

    Definitely don't be surprised if you don't get an appointment for awhile. That surprised me the most. I was more than 10 weeks along before I had my first dr appointment. It seems like a long time to wait, but reading books, articles and joining your birth month club can get you by until then.

    Congratulations! I agree with what has already been said - the big thing is taking your prenatal vitamins and a DHA supplement while you await your first doctors appointment (typically around 8-10 weeks)! You can do a quick Google search of the big things to stay away from in pregnancy, or a pregnancy book will clue you in :)
