hi i'm pregnant

[vickilouise]

hiya,
i'm fairly new to this forum and ive just found out i am pregnant, for the first time so i'm quite nervous about what to expect and what to be doing.
i went to see my gp today to confirm it and he has reffered me to a midwife and also my local maternity unit. ive also got folic acid from him.
is there anything else i need to be doing in particular?

Way-hey! Congratulations! You should call into the "Hellooo - where is everyone?" post, there are a few ladies in there who've had babies, they'll be able to give you some advice. You're already taking folic acid so that's a good start, and as far as I know you're not supposed to eat anything with raw egg in it, but that's about all I can contribute!

See, they're all nice down here.

congratulations!!! is it your first?
i dont know how far i am yet i could be anything up to 8 weeks !!!
ive got my first midwife appointment on friday in my docs surgery but thats just for her to take bloods check my blood pressureand advise me as its my first time. im suppossed to get my "dating" scan bout a week or two after that.
its so wierd i was playing monopoly the other day with my friends children and i couldnt keep track of what was going on i was taking my turn when it wasnt i was giving them money when they was supposed to give me it (i was the banker) they was laughing at me, does pregnancy give you a rubbish memory or is it just me? lol
