Usually the doctor can not tell if your pregnant until your about 12/13 weeks pregnant anyway And yes if you treat your body right and eat healthy as possible and make every app. for now on you and your baby will be fine its scary on your first if you have any questions just ask your doctor or ring the hospital and ask for a mid wife they will be definitely happy to help you may get a cranky mid wife but they will still answer your questions just relax and enjoy this experience its one in a life time and some people don't get to experience this joy. Good luck and bless you and your baby

Hi.. well congrats! Well i'm sure your baby will be perfectly fine.
A friend of mine did'nt find out she was expecting till she was 20 weeks gone, and the baby was beautifull and healthy.
The next thing to do is get yourself booked in for a dating scan, so that you know excactly how far along you are. I'd advise you start taking pronatal vitamins aswell. There great and they make sure you get all vital vits you need. Congrats again!
Take care!

There are many women out there that don't get any prenatal care, because of insurance, or other reasons, and have perfectly healthy babies. Just start your prenatal vitamins, and keep your appointments with your doctor. I'm sure your baby will be fine, and live a long and healthy life.
Good Luck!!

Don't worry, usually the doctor doesn't see you until you are 12 to 13 weeks along anyway. So everything should be fine just get yourself an app right away and start the care. It is better late than never.

Your baby will be ok, don't worry. I was about 16 wks when I found out too. I now have a healthy opinionated 11 year old son!! Just don't miss anymore appointments, okay? Good Luck to you and take care of yourself.

Don't worry. I didn't see a doctor until I was 17 weeks and everything was fine. Just make sure to start taking prenatal vitiamins and don't miss your other doctor appts. here on out.

they will make an appointment for you to have a scan and you will see your baby fine and healthy. When i was pregnant i dont think i had any doctors appointments until much later in pregnancy. Dont worry, just enjoy the feeling of being pregnant.

It is not too late what you have to do is make sure that you go to all your appointments. Did the doctor give your a prescription for prenatal bills, if yes make sure you take them everyday. If you do that everything will go well... Congratulations and Good Luck!!!!

your baby will be healthy .... even though you missed the first few appointments... if there is anything wrong it shouldn't be because of you missing the first few appointments. It doesn't happen all the time that wa women continues getting her period when she is pregnant but it does happen.
