Any advice for 4 week 5 days pregnant ??

[luv2017]

All ,,

Can I have some advice to ease my mind . I am really nervous and this fear is driving me crazy . I just want to pass my first trimester and wanted to avoid the risks..

I am getting white discharge and everything I get I am scared and rushing to toilet . I can’t enjoy my pregnancy. It’s just a week I saw the result but

I feel I was pregnant forever. Is just me feeling so ??

According to my husband , he saw the positive and I am going to deliver a baby in August. He is looking for cradle , bed , Alarm, camera and so on to buy . I told him to stop all these for a while but he says I am not positive and he says I am not enjoying the days and thinking bad things which I can’t help myself . I am 33 yrs and this is my first natural pregnancy. Am I thinking too much ?? Sorry for the long post and please be aware I might write big like this in future 🙈🙈🙈

Can I drive ?? Any super food ?? Anything to avoid ?? Anything I should be aware off ???

Thanks

Try and relax as unfortunately what will be will be so worrying isn’t going to help (easier said than done sometimes). I would hold off buying things until your 12 weeks scan too but that’s my opinion.

You can carry on as normal really. If you have a look at the nhs website it will tell you what you can eat and any other advice

Try and relax!!! You hopefully have another 8 months ofpregnancy so you will

Have plenty of time to buy stuff there really is no hurry... plus you might want to read a bit about different items and brands.

White discharge is normal. You can drive right the way through pregnancy as long as you aren't in active labour. I'd second the previous responders by advising you to swing by the NHS website. Take your folic acid and vitamin D supplements. To be honest, I found it pretty impossible to enjoy the first trimester- it sucked- so don't blame yourself for not finding it really fun. It's lots of watching and worrying. I'd get onto mumsnet- on the talk section about pregnancy there will be a chat for mums to be of August babies and they will all be in the same boat.

Awww thanks so much , let me get on mumsnet. Ya I am taking folic acid and vitamin D? Can I take vitamin c? I use to take vitamin c supplements but stopped after seeing positive . I daily drink orange juice so I feel it might be too much intake of vitamin c.

If you like, you can take a pregnancy multivitamin, which will have all the vitamin C and others that you need. Just avoid any non-pregnancy ones with Vitamin A in.

I wouldn't drink too much orange juice but I do drink it sometimes now if our boy doesn't move as much as it gives them a boost.

I'm 25 weeks pregnant now with our rainbow boy. We have lost 2 babies previous And I was the same. I drove myself insane all the time! Just remember as long as you have no bleeding, then you're fine. Although some people do have spotting and are fine but any bleeding get checked out straight away to be safe. Period pain is completely normal and worrying is normal too! I have only just started to calm down a bit since feeling him move. I don't mean to make that sound more stressful but I'm just being honest.

Pregnecare do good pregnancy vitamins. 90 in a pack n they're 3 for 2 in Boots so it'll cost 20 quid to get all the vitamins for the rest of your pregnancy. They're the ones midwives recommend :). I also take vitamin B3 as there has been research and studies that it helps to prevent miscarriages. Holland and Barrett sell them pretty cheap if it was something you wanted to take.

Driving is absolutely fine. Once you get your bump, they do advise to put the seatbelt under your bump and the shoulder part over.

Try to eat little and often. I fainted at work when I was about 21 weeks as I hadn't eaten in the morning (luckily I work at a hospital) so I had one orange juice and some toast with jam just to get my sugars up and give baby a boost. Feeling faint/fainting is normal in pregnancy but since ive started having fruit before work with a small glass of fresh orange, I've been fine :).

Pardon the essay! Wishing you all the best xx

Thanks so much for this ... I am going to get B3, I had preganacare preconception tablet and that month my ovulation was delayed .. so I am scared of preganacare. Let me check with other prenatal vitamins. Ya I am eating quite often and little as am going hungry so easily . Appreciate your response .

[Major2116 in reply to luv2017]

You're welcome hun. No worries, each to their own :). As long as you're taking folic acid, that's the main thing. You can buy folic acid and vitamin d together if that's any good to you.

If you type in vitamin B3 miscarriage into Google it has loads of research on it so you can read up about it :).

Wishing you the best! X
