Welcome! Congratulations on your pregnancy!!

First, if you can, get yourself some over-the-counter prenatal vitamins with folic acid. Next, call and schedule an appt with a provider (dr, midwife, etc). Finally, take it easy and enjoy being pregnant.

thank youu! im so excited but im nervous because i have no idea what to do now.

 

[momma_jenna]

thank you soo much!

It's perfectly normal to be nervous. I was nervous with all of my pregnancies. Also, some women experience cramping in early pregnancy. So if you start cramping know that it can be normal as long as it's not accompanied with bleeding. Some women even experience spotting during pregnancy. Just letting you know, no one told me when I first became pregnant at 18 and I was a worry wart. I thought cramping meant something was going wrong. Have a happy and healthy 9 months!!!

Becky when was your last period? Mine was Dec. 5 and I have 27 day cycles.

Dec 4th and as for cycles no idea, never had to work it out or keep record

 

[shantehend]

If your periods come every 28 days then you would have the same due date as me. Well good luck ladies!! And what helped me thru my first pregnancy at age 18 was reading a lot of baby books. I read about everything from baby development to nutrition during pregnancy to labor/childbirth. I felt very informed and very prepared. You can even borrow the books from a library if you don't want to pay for them. A good book is What to Expect When Expecting. God bless you all.

my last period was dec 5-9 so i think all of us are around the same time but i dont know my cycle either.

Welcome and congrats!!

momma_jenna, you may be 5 wks even. If your in the USA you can try Planned Parenthood. Most locations do prenatal care at no charge or for a low fee depending on your income. God bless you and take care.
