-Start taking prenatal vitamins. You can get these at the grocery store.
-Reduce alcohol intake (future Daddy should too)
-Eat more healthy, drink plenty of water (future Daddy should too..)
-Avoid hot tubs, hot baths, hot showers (future Daddy should too...)
-Buy a pregnancy test from the store to have on hand if you are 3-5 days late starting your period.
-Get a few sexy outfits so you can have fun in the process! :) Good luck!

you need to start taking folic acid- it prevents birth defects, start buying diapers, you can never have too many, buy all sizes (you can always take them back) thats all i can think of- hold off on buying all the yellow stuff because once you find out what you are having you will wish you hadn't bought all the yellow stuff- happened to me.....
also......SLEEP whenever you feel like it, I wish I could
Good Luck! Being a Mom is so much fun!

My doctor told me to start taking folic acid a few months before getting preg.
If you smoke then stop, cut back on caffeine and eat healthy.

you are supposed to take prenatals before you even get pregnant, they recomment like a year before, get in good shape, work out a little and it will help you have a healthier pregnancy
