With DH sure to just decide that he's ready to TTC at the drop of a hat I'm trying to prepare myself for what's next, when I eventually do get pregnant. I've been reading up on what to expect during my first appointment etc. and whilst it's freaking me out a little, I'm dealing with it.
My main problem will be cutting down caffeine as I'm definitely a coffee addict drinking up to four cups a day! I'm going to start trying just to have my coffee in the morning and then no more all day. My problem is I love the taste and the warmth in the winter. Decaff is totally okay to drink while pregnant, right? I don't really drink alcohol unless it's a special occasion so I won't miss that and I don't smoke so we're all good there!
What vitamins/pregnancy supplements should I take when pregnant? I get so confused when I'm reading stuff online. Is there one brand, one pack that gives you all you need?! I already take iron as it helps with AF and general tiredness.
Is there anything I should be doing now or will need to do in the early stages of pregnancy that I've forgotten about?!
