Answer 1

This can be a joyous ride.

Call your doctor.

Start taking prenatal vitamins with FOLIC acid.

Decide what you and your bf are going to do about this. Marriage, health insurance, move in together, start saving $ for expenses. You are also able to decide that you are not ready to become parents and life-partners and then you need to consider all the options available. There is no shame in not being ready.

Don't worry about the pregnancy calendar, with current technology your due date will be determined later on pretty accurately.

Here is a difficult statistic that I wish I had known. One quarter of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. If this should happen to you, and I really hope it doesn't, it is part of normal human reproduction - no ones fault.

One question, how long have you been together?

Answer 2

Congratulations on the new little person growing within you!

Call your OB/GYN and schedule a checkup asap. It's never too soon to start getting prenatal care. He/She can help you by giving you nutrition advice, maybe prescribing your prenatal vitamins and making sure you are healthy over all.

Pregnancy is the most wonderful experience I've ever had (twice). Emotionally it is amazing, although the physical discomforts, especially in the last months, aren't the greatest.

Look forward to this...you will never forget the glorious mystery and miracle of this time.

hon, I don't think it was your boyfriend's "jinx" that caused you to get pregnant, it was probably his SPERM! LOL

I suggest you do some reading about pregnancy. I highly recommend the book "What to Expect When You're Expecting.'" tells you everything you need to know, list of do's and don'ts, what happens in each month of pregnancy, etc.

Also, make an appointment with an OB-GYN for as soon as possible and take prenatal vitamins.

Answer 4

first up you weren't jinxed you just got lucky are now carrying a chiild within your body ( an awesome thing to do) it would be wise to seek out a doc for your pregnancy since if the doc sees you early he/she can be well informed about your condition(s) and relate them to your needs as well as the needs of the baby
the "calendar " is not always accurate you should consult your doc about the due date(s) and remember "even the doc does not totally know the exact date you will domino

Go to the ob/gyn. No sense in worry about it unless its confirmed by a doctor. And then they'll give you tons of info.
