I just got my BFP this morning after ttc for 8 months, I am super clued up on ttc and ovulation etc but totally forgot to research after the test is positive!
I am already taking a folic acid supplement, do I just call the doctor on Monday and they will tell me everything I need to know?
Ill also stay away from pâté and blue cheese

Just call your Dr. in the morning and set up an appt. to verity the pregnancy. Mine made me wait until 8 weeks. Until then? Celebrate! Stay away from the obvious stuff, and just enjoy it!
Congrats mama!!!!

I just called my OB and set up my first appointment! They told me to take a prenatal and I remembered the dos and donts of eating from my first pregnancy.

Woohoooooo congratulations!!! Yep call the Dr office o. Monday. In the mean time , relax and enjoy the period before morning sickness sets in.
-
Good advice above. Just wanted to say congratulations!!

@Mrs tartan: @creativemomma15: congrats to you both!! Please join the September mamas thread
also, after you've made an appointment with your OB/midwife if you are still unsure of what is unsafe, babycenter.com has a great reference section about it. You can sign up for a weekly email that gives you updates on what is happening during your pregnancy each week that I loved during my first pregnancy.

Not sure if its different in Scotland but here the GP doesn't do much other than refer you to the hospital where you have a booking appointment with a midwife normally around 8 weeks. No one talked to me about do's and don't- ever. So definitely do your own research. The care in the UK is totally different from most people's North American experience on Hellobee. Much more hands off, I found. Always with a midwife etc.
How exciting for you! Where abouts in Scotland are you?

@sea_bass: thanks, I'm up in the highlands. Are you from Scotland?
-
Cal the doctor on Monday! Take prenatal vitamins and read up on what you can and can't eat. Congrats!

I felt the same way. Here's what I did- Make an appointment with the OB. Got a couple of books to figure out what I should/shouldn't do/eat in the meantime. Prepared for morning sickness by cleaning the house really well and stocking up on ginger ale and food I thought I would be able to eat if I wasn't feeling well. I also got DH some quick, easy meals for one he could make when I was feeling cruddy. Celebrate. Congratulations!

We were working with an RE, so we called them first. They did betas and scheduled my first ultrasound.
After that they urged me to make an appointment with my GP. Apparently my GP will be taking care of me until 28 weeks when my OB will take over. I'm in Ontario, Canada.
Just call your doctor... They'll direct you!
