Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Are you seeing a doctor? Pre-natal care is essential to monitoring things, especially when you're late into your pregnancy. Also making sure you do not develop gestational diabetes. You'll find that the nurses at a good OB/GYN can help you with your fears. Plus, lots of literature. Best to find magazines and books and read up on pregnancy. Most folks get through it just fine ... first time is scary, but that's normal. But it's good to be educated on warning signs of trouble so you can prevent them. Dede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I scheduled my first doctors appointment for April 4th. They said they don't take you before you are 8 weeks along. edgetexlady <rbright wrote: Are you seeing a doctor?

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 My daughter just had her first baby. She got the book called " What to expect when you're expecting " if chock full of helpful information, pictures etc. There are also companion books called " What to expect the first year " and so on. They are excellent books. La Leche League has a wonderful book on breastfeeding. La Leche League members are also a wonderful support group. Your OB/GYN should also have some information for you, brochures, lists of contacts for support groups and birthing classes. The local YWCA may have information for you also! Good Luck!
