no problem!  Actually, if you go to the top and look at the tool bar, you'll see Information and you can hit on that and it brings a drop down menu and you can click pregnancy.  Then there is another tool bar on that page and it says Articles in the middle of it. There are a ton of pregnancy articles I think are really helpful!  Glad you are here and look forward to being around as you go through your pregnancy!

I just moved to Connecticut and I haven't gotten my healthcare for up here so I have to wait till I go to the welfare Monday to get that so I can see a doctor

[specialmom]

Oh, okay.  Hopefully they have an easy process for you so it happens quickly.  Pick up some prenatal vitamins at the pharmacy.

Congratulations!!  This is exciting!  So, prenatal vitamins are a good idea.  You can have them prescribed by your doctor.  Even if they don't see you yet (my ob/gyn does not see ladies who are expecting until they are at 8 to 9 weeks along)--  they can call that in.  then if you have insurance, it is paid for through that and you just pay the copay.  Otherwise, you can pick them up over the counter.  Make sure they have a good dose of folic acid.  Yes, it's great to exercise and stay fit during pregnancy plus this helps with weight gain, stress relief, and making the time go faster.  so, go for walks absolutely.  Eat healthy making each meal count.  so, get lots of lean protein, vegetables, fruits, some grains.  Throw in some dairy.  You really don't have to eat more.  I was definitely more hungry though during pregnancy so ate more---  so your body kind of makes you do this.  Get rest too.  But most of all, be happy.  Again, congrats hon!

Thx im exited i lost my last baby to limb body wall defect 3 yrs ago and ive tried to have another now im pregnant lol i really dont have no symptoms exept boos hurting and sickness alittle

[specialmom]

Ah, I'm so sorry for your loss.  At 6 weeks, the pregnancy hormones are just now revving up . . .  so morning sickness does start around now.  Sorry you have a little of that.  Since you lost a baby, is your doctor wanting to see you earlier?
