You’re Pregnant! What Next?

| July 1, 2012

Congratulations on finding out you are pregnant!

It’s an exciting time and if it’s your first pregnancy you’ll no doubt have lots of questions and concerns.

The average pregnancy lasts for 40 weeks or 280 days from the first day of your last period.

Did you know?

Only 5% of babies arrive on your estimated due date!

My baby was 11 days late, so I was pregnant for almost 42 weeks. Every day after my estimated due date seemed like the longest day of my life, waiting and waiting for baby to arrive!

Find out how many weeks pregnant you are and calculate your due date with the Pregnancy Due Date Calculator.

What next?

Make an appointment to see your GP. Your GP will run through some standard who will ask you which hospital you want to have your baby in.

I had a choice of two hospitals in London. Prior to my GP appointment I’d researched these thoroughly and checked out their maternity wards and facilities, so I knew which hospital I wanted to have my antenatal checks in as well as the birth of my baby.

Jot down a list of questions you may have and see if your GP can provide any advice.

I’d been taking Vitabiotics Pregnacare Conception whilst we were trying to conceive. As soon as I knew I was pregnant I started taking Vitabiotics Pregnacare Plus Omega 3 and continued to take these throughout my entire pregnancy. These multivitamins plus Omega 3 ensured my baby and I had all the essential nutrients we needed, including the recommended level of 400mcg folic acid.

I read What To Expect When You’re Expecting and recommend this to all expectant mothers.

There’s a wealth of pregnancy resources available online. Here are the internet sites I found most helpful when I was pregnant:

I Love You Daddy

Happy Father’s Day Daddy!

Thank you for being such a great Daddy and for pushing me high on the swings. Mummy doesn’t let me go that high but I think it’s fun. I like playing with my aeroplane with you and you make good helicopter noises.
