Pregnancy, parenting and babycare news and products.

You are probably feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment and full of excitement but also apprehension. What do you do next? The first thing to do after you find out you are pregnant is go to your doctor, that’s if you have done a home pregnancy test, to get them to confirm it. They will also give you a due date according to when you had your last period. (so it’s a good idea to try and work out when this was before you go). No doubt there will be lots of questions you want answered but some of the important ones which may affect your growing baby are:

· can I drink alcohol or coffee?

· what if I’m a smoker, what will this do to my baby and how can I quit?

· what should I eat?

· how much exercise can I do and what type?

· can I still have sex with my partner? (don’t be embarrassed to ask this one as everyone wants to know)

The doctor will ask you about your and your partners family history and if there are any diseases or deformities in your family. These days there are so many tests available to help determine the health of your unborn baby  while you are pregnant, and if there is anything wrong, it gives you time to prepare yourself and make important decisions.

If your doctor doesn’t give you the answers to your questions, find a new doctor, afterall having a baby is the most precious gift which can be given to you.

We would like to give you a free mini version of Pregnancy A-Z which will give you tips on what to expect while you are pregnant.
