Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

hi everybody

i checked yday and im pregnant. im really scared and dont know what to do.

i called my gynac for appointment and she gave me only on dec 16th. also she told me that im 6 weeks pregnant now.

is it normal to take folic acid after consulting my doctor on dec 16th. or can i take from now onwards. during dec 16th i willl be in my 10th week. so is it good to take folic acid after 10th week.

im very scared as this is not a planned pregnancy. i dont know what to do and what i dont want to?

i live is US. can i travel in the car for going to grocery shop in this first trimester?

can anybody can give some suggestion needed to be more carefull during this first trimester?

i dont have any vomitting or nausea right now? anybody has an idea that at which week this vomitting will start? i read in some website that most woman dont feel the symptoms of pregnancy like vomiting or nausea.

But i have a very mild abdominal pain that exists for 30min to 1hr only. is this normal?

please give me some suggestions that i should be very carefull at this first 3 months.??

yday my body was little bit hot. normally if my body is hot then i use to apply castor oil in my tummy as it is a natural coolent.

so can i apply caster oil in my tummy when my body is hot in this stage.


thanks for everybody in advance.

Expecting all your suggestions
Nini afriend replied. congrats...usually in u.s doctors give first appointment around 10 weeks so don't worry.and folic acid is available through Rx only so u have to wait unyil your check-up.normally they will give a prenatal vitamin it has folic acid.
u can do all your normal day to day things and eat plenty of fruits and 2 glasses of milk daily avoid papaya and fried heavy foods.
i am 12 weeks pregnant with second one and i don't have vomitting or nausea.
a very mild abdominal pain is nomal but write it down in a journal so that you can discuss it with your gync.
and last but not least don't bent ovet to much and don't left things which are heavy. hope this will help you
