Up water, take prenatal, no alcohol/smoking. Cut back on caffiene but you don't need to completely eliminate it. And baths are totally fine! Congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpnow-what#post-2098618 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 21:35:54 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2098618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations!!! I wish I would have done a serious grocery shopping trip, deep cleaned the house, and made freezer meals before or as soon as I got my BFP. I say this because I had awful morning sickness and besides work...laid around for weeks!</p> <p>Besides, if you prepare, you'll escape morning sickness :wink: </p> <p>Congrats mama!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpnow-what#post-2098603 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 21:12:57 +0000 Tanjowen 2098603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats! </p> <p>Besides obsessively surfing the Internet for cute baby outfits or discussing names? :wink: Water intake is very important and you already are doing that, and the prenatal vitamin. I tried to up my vitamin E intake in my food too. </p> <p>If you struggle with morning sickness a good trick is to have DH bring you ginger ale and saltines first thing before getting out of bed. That was the best advice I got from my sister and it worked great for me the first trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpnow-what#post-2098598 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 21:05:29 +0000 mrsrugbee 2098598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alcohol &amp; coffee were the only things I was careful about. I think people overreact about sushi, coldcuts, over-easy eggs, unripened cheeses. I still eat these while pregnant. DD came out fine and my current pregnancy is equally on track. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpnow-what#post-2098474 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 18:28:44 +0000 simplyfelicity 2098474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations! Watch your caffeine, switch to prenatal, microwave lunch meat and other chilled prepackaged meats, avoid alcohol, wash veggies well and make sure your baths aren't too hot. I take long, long baths and just keep the temp reasonable. If you have to ease your body in, it's too hot. Maybe take sex a little easier as the cervix is very sensitive during pregnancy and you might spot. It won't hurt the baby but might freak you and your SO out. A lot of these are debatable but just general "dos and don'ts." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpnow-what#post-2098376 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 16:35:16 +0000 snowjewelz 2098376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats! That early I don't really think you can do anything to it.. Just don't do anything you normally don't do :grin: Try to just relax and enjoy your meals in case you start to not feel well soon! </p> <p>You can take a bath as long as it's not too hot and you're not in that said super hot water for way too long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpnow-what#post-2098356 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 16:21:04 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2098356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations! </p> <p>I would check caffeine intake, check any meds (tylenol is ok, not advil), just basic stuff like that! Enjoy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfpnow-what#post-2098347 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 16:13:03 +0000 Travelinmoon 2098347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I confirmed my pregnancy today with digital pregnancy test. I will see my doctor in a few weeks but what should I know before then? I'm upping my water intake and trying to eat what I can stomach. I take a muti vitamin but I'm planning to switch to a prenatal. I usually take baths every night, should I stop that? Any other do's or don'ts I should be aware of? </p>
