Answer 1

I would definitely get checked out by your doc. before con't with your pregnancy. You seem to have a lot of genuine concerns, not just about your own health but your husband's as well. I would talk with a genetic counselor & see, what your chances are that you baby will be born healthy. Good Luck.

Answer 2

They will take your weight and your blood pressure. Depending on the Dr's office they will also take a urine sample. After that, they will ask you your health history. Be prepared to answer all of those questions at least twice LOL. First the Nurse will ask you and then the Dr. Things like Do you smoke? Diabetes run in the family? Previous pregnancies? They will ask you when your last menstral period was and how many days your cycles usually are. Then Doc will ask you how you've been feeling such as have you had any nausea etc. Be sure and write all your questions down so you don't forget to talk with him about anything that concerns you. He may or may not mention your weight. He will want to discuss with you how much weight he thinks would be healthy for your size. He will probably do an ultrasound too. Most Dr's offices do one on the first visit so that they can date the pregnancy and see if it is viable. One word of warning, it will be a vaginal u/s so be prepared! Congrats adn good luck!

Answer 3

While I am happy about your excitment I am also concerned with the fact that your husband was born with birthdefects and it also worried me that you are currently 80pd,s over weight. When I became pregnant with my son, 6 months prior to becoming pregnant I went to see my obgyn to get her opinion and advise about what to do for my health and future babies health before I became pregnant, so what I did was I lost 20 pds, I started to take prenatal vitamins, I began eating healthy, and I quit smoking. You see, these are the step,s you take prior to becoming pregnant so that you have a safe and healthy pregnancy. During pregnancy you will gain between 30-50 pds, on top of your 80 means your body will be required to carry around a extra 100 plus pounds, this is not good, this means your heart has to work extra hard, you can develop toxemia, you can end up having high blood presure, and you can also become diabetic. Sorry if I come off negative but I dont get why you did,nt pre-plan for becoming pregnant, this is your childs health, this is your health, why be so selfish? Anyway, good luck, I really mean that. And as far as your lower right side hurting, this may be nothing at all but Id talk to my doctor about it.

Answer 4

Well, i don't have a baby yet but I would say Of course you should tell everything 2 ur doctor. I do tell my doc everything that I feel its not going right in my body. Good luck w/ pregnancy and I hope there's nothing serious.

Answer 5

Well, You can talk with your doctor what you told us. They will answer for you when you see your doctor as well than we do here.
