    Hi Ladies,

    I took a Home pregnancy test yesterday and got a positive on it! :)
    I am approximately 4 weeks and 6 days along. This will be my first baby.
    I am wondering what should be my next steps?
    My questions are:


    1. When do I go for my first ultrasound? When is it usually preferred and safe for the baby?


    2. I got an appointment April 1st week when I will be approximately 9 weeks along. Any idea what happens during the first pre-natal appointment. I would like to add that I got the pap, thyroid tests and pelvic examination done a month back.


    3. Since the first appointment is way far in April, is there any other way to make sure the baby is ok?? I keep stressing out if it is doing good and things are fine.



    Thanks,
    Strong03

    Congrats on ur pregnancy.
    Have Folic acid tablet along with fruits and veggies.
    Ultrasound is on 7-8 week to check heart beat of baby.

    hi congrats on ur pregnancy....
    Chill out... I can understand ur excitement... Jus believe all is well.. even if u go for an ultrasound now... only a yolk sac wud be seen.. the baby's welfare can be confirmed only after the hearbeat comes.. which is around 8 weeks.. n dats the time ur having ur ultrasound.. be happy.. don lift weights... u can do ur normal activities.... if u regularly exercise.. then stop doing it wen u feel stressed out... mild exercise still can be done...very important thing to do now is start taking folic acid tablets if ur not taking already... pregnany is part of our life...enjoy it as much as u can....
