I don't know what to do with myself...

I am SO overwhelmed and have no idea how to entertain myself. What did you guys do once you found out you were pregnant?

Today is our one year anniversary and we are going out to dinner tonight to a delicious steak house. I like my steak medium rare...is that allowed when you are pregnant?!? I don't know what I am allowed to do anymore...HA! Does anyone else feel this way? It is ALL I think about!

So spill it...what are the major things (besides no drinking, no smoking...) that I should know?

When did you schedule your first doctor appointment?

I am so terrified that I am going to wake up and this is all going to be a dream. HELP ME!

Congrats! I got my BFP last wed, and couldn't do much except wander around my house occasionally coming back to look at the hpt's I had taken, lol. I'm feeling a lot better now and am trying really hard to get back to being organised. Its really hard to get your head around. So good luck with that.

Besides no drinking and smoking, check with your doc about any medications you may be on to see if they are safe during pregnancy. I have to change a few of my meds to different ones that are safe.

I scheduled my first appointment for tomorrow. I'm a bit excited about that

Congrats again

Nellie...

Congratulations! And also congrats on your 1-year anniversary (that's when I found out I was preggo with our number one, too.. right around our first year).

DON"T WORRY! All will be just fine.. I agree with Tate that you should double check on what meds to take or not take..

Also make sure you're taking a prenatal vitamin and drinking plenty of water..

There are lists and lists of things to avoid (fish, deli meat, soft cheese) but you can find those as you search, or ask your doctor.. You've got the big ones.

I would have to say the BIGGEST and best thing you can do for that baby is to take care of yourself

BE HAPPY. Enjoy these moments and relax as best you can.

Please let me know if I can help you in any way..

I agree with what the other ladies have said. I would also recommend the book what to expect when you are expecting. Its a great book and has great advice.
