Dear Suba,
I am very happy for you and to both of you hearty congratulations.

Scared? What for?

There is nothing to be scared off. You were thinking to try in this cycle seems it happened a cycle before you wanted, so what. This is a piece of cake and you should plan on celebrating than tensing you both!

I understand concerns associated with first pregnancy.

Let me tell what you should critically avoid:
Avoid anything that contains raw eggs, eg. myonase and salad dressings.

Do not eat raw vegetables from salad bar unless you wash them by yourself at home.

Avoid caffinated drinks and of course coffee too, one cup per day is OK that too after getting green from your Dr.

You will hear many opinions when you visit monthly club and many time first timers can get scared on what others say, but remember to clarify your doubts from professionals, experienced family members than getting worried on anything you hear from people.

Never ever think negative during pregnanany and harbor good thoughts and remain positive through out the term, your fetus knows all you think and do, indirectly.

I would recommend to hold on any travel except walk until you see your Dr. and discuss with him/her.

No intercourse until discussing with Dr. If your Dr. do not comment and you both think you would have desire anytime then do not hesitate to put that concern to your Dr.

Try to eat at home and fully cooked meals.

Remember to have balance of diet, whole grain flour than bleached is healthy. Include green vegetables in curry and have some proteins, dairy stuff at home. I would recommend not to eat out pizza and anything with cheese although your Dr. won't say the same. Dairy products only at home, even if you don't make Curd at home, this is time to start making by yourself and eat that one.

Drink fortified fruit juices, eat fresh fruits cleaned by yourself not for fruit salad in restaurant.

About health concerns:
No problem if you feel little stomach pain. It's that the stomach pain should be not severe, not constant and should not be accompanied by fresh blood, a little spotting is OK in first trimester at least in some cases spotting or minor bleeding takes place through out the pregnancy and it's OK, we will see that if necessary in future.

About your visit to OB and what to expect!

You can surely give her a call and get your blood test done. This will tell you whether your hCG levels are meeting to expected levels at your given gestation. I would be glad to know numbers of your hCG to confide more.

It's dependent on Dr to have ultrasound on 8th week or not. Classically in US it's perfectly normal and very common to perform US on or around 8th week and you should be able to see sac and tiny fetus about 1 cm or slightly smaller, you should also hear heart beat.
If not then look at the US picture that will tell the age of fetus/embryo. If that's below 7 week then stay calm for a while. If that's 7 week or more and you hear heart you are all set to celebrate with sweets!

Will look forward to help you through pregnancy and listen to your concerns and updates from Drs. appointment.

Again no stress, throw that out of your neighborhood.

Archie
