Eat healthy, take a prenatal vitamin, see your OB/GYN regularly, get plenty of rest, mild exercise (like walking) and stay hydrated.  Avoid areas where people are smoking or where there are other types of air pollutants.  Best of luck!

Congrats!\nmake sure you stay away from junk food. take the baby out for a walk everyday (provided its not raining or freezing). if you run, you can get a stroller especially for that. also, you can use the baby as a weight.to work on your arms.

It wouldn't hurt to go to the doctor to find out especially if you're wanting to have a baby soon. Otherwise I would wait and let nature take it's course.

You can check out the safety of a drug through FDA. You should never take any medication, including vitamins, minerals, herbal supplements and over the counter drugs while pregnant without first consulting your doctor. There is really no such thing as a SAFE drug. All drugs have risks and side effects. Medications are foreign substances to the body.

you need to speak with a Dr.before you start any medication if you are considering a pregnancy. if you are having major problems in your life, why would to want to have a baby before you resolve your issues. please note a  lot of medications cause major complication to a developing fetus if they are taken during a pregnancy. you need to contact a Dr.  for both your sakes.

If proper neonatal care applied upon delivery, your child will almost have a good health.\n\nPre-term birth has a serious impact on child if not properly cared e.g.: Respiratory distress syndrom, and cerebral hemorrhage.

Having premmie babies of my own, the best place to get info is form a current nurse. Call your local hospital and try to schedule an interview with a neonatal RN

I highly doubt that your doctor would give you something that would cause birth defects.  There are antibiotics that are safe to use during pregnancy.  If you are that concerned I suggest you ask your doctor about it.

Normally yes.  My wife is pregnant with our first child and despite the fact that she is a nurse, she insisted on asking the doctor.  The doctor told us, in no uncertain terms, that in no way can sex hurt a healthy pregnancy.  If she is having any complications or is a high risk pregnancy then you should check with your doctor first.

As soon as you find out you are pregnant  you should quit smoking.  You can't do anything about the cigarettes you smoked before you realized you were pregnant-so try not to worry.

A perinatologist.  Your O. B. should be able to recommend one.  Any hospital that takes high risk pregancies or has a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit will have a Perinatologist.

Get a blood test any time you'd like. They are simple, reliable, and low cost.\n\nYou can also retry the urine test. Many people suggest trying two different brands for best results.\n\nBy the way, if this is your first, the 'feeling' of being pregnant is not very reliable.

I would not try anything different without consulting your doctor first. There are many effects that may arise when your body is already changing due to pregnancy so you need to be so careful and cautious.
