Hello all,
I just joined here today, I guess so that I can get some "expert" advise.
I'm pregnant for the first time even thou we kinda "planned" for it its happened a LOT quicker then anyone thought and even thou I am super happy right now I'm feeling overwhelmed at the same time as to whether or not I'm doing all the right things.
So everybody/ everything said when you get of the BC it can take anywhere from 6-12 months ... yea well not in my case, make it 4 weeks, which is a happy surprise.
However since I was set on waiting longer I now have to quit smoking from one day to the next which I really feel like someone's torturing me and its not easy to be honest....Anyone any tips for me to be 'calmer' and stay away from these cigarettes?
I'm a vegetarian so I eat PLENTY of fresh fruits, veggies, cheese as it is but I'm worried will this be sufficient or do I in fact 'need' meat? The Doc gave me prenatal plus vitamins right now.
I won't be going back to the Doc for all kinds blood work etc until Aug 5th, which will make me about 4 weeks along - Will that be fine / too late?
Right now I'm feeling fine apart from sleeping quite some more/ easily exhausted and running to the restroom wayyyy more then usual but from what I understand that's only normal.
Is there anything I could/ should do to make sure the lil bugger has a good development from the start now?
And my last question for right now, is anyone out there pregnant with low sugar as well? My low sugar has been under control & just fine for many years by eating right but I'm afraid this may change now?
I'm sorry I am rambling on like this and I'm sure a lot of you experienced mom's out there will laugh about this now but I have sooo many questions on my mind right now and I don't really wanna talk to any family / friends until its "safe".
