1st Time Pregnant, Need Advise! Posted: 10-18-04 02:13am
Hi there,
this is my first pregnancy (8 weeks). I
am feeling anxious & happy too.
Here are some of my concerns :
1. Can anyone refer me for some info of
'do' & 'don't' during pregnancy?
2. When should I start go for check up?
I didn't go for doctor since I am sure I
am pregnant, I only take some acid folic.
3. This morning I was fall down from
stairs (not very serious), only my leg is
slightly injured. Should I go for doc for
check up ?
4. Is 5 months pregnancy will have
obvious physical change on body? Can
someone notice if I was pregnant 5
months?
I am seriously seeking for some advise
& help.
Thanks in advance.

Hey first off congrats!!! How old r u?
And whats the whole thing with 5 months?
I'm almost 5 and some days i'm showing and
some i'm not but if your worried about not
wanting to show you can pull it off with
alittle chubbys and some girls dont show
at all at 5 months
i got my first doc check up at like 6
weeks you should really get in to see a
doc (this is my first pregnancy too) and
if your not yet start taking prenatal
vitamins.... (yes yes yes I urge this!
) you can get them
from like a health store or even grocery
store or from your doc but please do so...
Couple do's and dont's though i'm not pro
stay off alot of sugar even like fructose
sugar and sodas watch wha you eat your
only suppose to gain about 10 lbs every 3
months.... But dont stress your weight.
Start excercising now and stay in shape
you'll appreciate it later. Choose one
doc you love and stick with him/her get enough sleep
and try on your side with a pillow like in
between your legs or something... (veer
off sleeping on your tummy if you do) take
care of yourself... Hey what I did was
sign up on www.Babycenter.Com
for a weekly report its great and they
send you like no junk mail just an
occasional coupon or trip and each week
they send you like a "hey congrats your 9
weeks now" and like tell you what your
babys up to at this point and what changes
you should or shouldnt be expeirencing and
like tips and what to do. Its a great
site!
I'm not sure about the stair thing... Did
you hurt ur tummy at all? If it helps at
all I am like the worlds biggest clutz
hahah well not the worlds but still and I
have a happy healthy boy bouncing around
in me. But when you go in for the doc
remind them of it... You should be
getting your first ultra sound soon too I
got one at 8 or 10 weeks.
hahah agian why the 5 month thing? You
may not grow tooo big by then but you'll
feel the changes yoru expeirencing....
Who all have you told... Is the daddy
around?
Agian congrats and feel free to add
anything on here...
thanks for your reply!
Thanks a lot too for recommend the great
site.
uh yeah... 5 months, because my wedding
dinner will be on that time, where I
approximately got 4 months ++ or 5
months pregnant. I am worry about I won't
look great that day, haha
then I might need to shorten the time for
preparation!
I am starting to gain weight now, although
I don't have good appetite recently
(nausea). Before this I am the slim type,
but now some parts are obviously growing
although I am just 2 months pregnant, this
make me feel worry. My waistline &
tummy expanding as well, I think I have to
put my favorite jeans aside because I
start feel tight already. I'm slim type
body and yet I am growing. I am wondering
how can the outside world won't see any
sign of the dramatic developments taking
place inside me till 5 months?
It's no good to wear tight pants &
shirt?
is spotting or bleeding is common in early
of pregnancy? Not every woman will go
thru this, right?
I should take your
advice to see doctor soon. I heard &
read about that most practitioners won't
want to see you right away unless you have
a serious medical condition or you're
having problems?
What type of exercise should I do? I
don't do yoga or swimm.
Fyi, I am a working lady, it's so tired
for me after every working day from
office.
Yea try to buy some bigger pants, I prefer
kakhis to jeans although I did buy some
bigger jeans but I mainly wear loose
comfortable kakhi pants or you can buy
some jogging pants. Congrats!!

she/he can go over all this stuff with
you. Good luck!
