If you have been trying to have a baby and have finally gotten your first batch of positive tests, then you may be wondering about what your next steps should be. Pregnancy is simultaneously exciting and frightening, so it is perfectly fine to have a few questions. Here is a short guide to dealing with your first few weeks of pregnancy and all of the questions you are sure to have.
While the first thing you will surely want to do is go running straight to your entire family with the great news you must wait. You first step should be to make an appointment with your doctor for a pregnancy test as soon as possible. While this may seem a bit too thorough since you already experienced a positive at home test it really is necessary. At home tests have a reputation for occasionally being wrong. The test your doctor will run can confirm that you are indeed pregnant and that this isn't just a false alarm This way, if you happen to not be pregnant, you will not look silly by announcing a false alarm to your entire family.
Another thing that you'll want to discuss with your doctor immediately in the case of you being pregnant is prenatal vitamins. These can be prescribed or bought over the counter at a drug store. They are usually less than a few dollars but are invaluable when it comes to the baby's development in the first couple of weeks. Ideally you should be taking prenatal vitamins before you even conceive because there are very important during the baby's first few weeks before you are even aware you are pregnant. Make sure to discuss with your doctor which kind of prenatal vitamins are best for you and your baby.
If you have irrevocably confirmed that you are pregnant, then you may wondering how to announce it to your friends and family. There are plenty of ways that you can get creative with announcing it, but one of the best ways may be to simply have whoever you wish to tell over to your home and then announce it with your partner. But if you feel that getting creative will add to the excitement, then by all means.
The next thing you are probably wanting to do is go shopping for baby supplies. While you will not know the sex of the baby in the first few weeks of pregnancy, you can still purchase gender neutral supplies such as blankets, diapers, bottles, and things like that. While you may think that nine months is plenty of time to gather supplies like these, you can never have too many diapers. Stocking up on diapers will give you not only some leeway in how much you have to spend on diapers later, but you will find your diaper supply quickly dwindle.
Your diet is another thing that you need to take into consideration. While your body will naturally help you crave the right things, it is still important to do your best to study up on the right diet for your pregnancy. Your body type can be a big factor in this, so plan your diet meticulously, and as with anything regarding your pregnancy, consult your doctor before beginning any diet.
