Welcome to Gaia! ::

Best advice for you..........GO to the DOCTOR!!!!!

I went smile yesterday. They took a bunch of blood, made me pee in cups, and told me that I'm due april 18th. I have a list of foods not to eat, but if anyone has healthy recipies I'd still appreciate it since I'm not much of a cook and I suck at inventing food.

My doctor pretty much gave me a list of things not to eat, and then told me that I can pretty much keep eating and living like I normally would until I start having nausea.

I have my first ultrasound on the 24th and a complete checkup on the second of september. I'm excited to see my baby, but I'm really worried about money and so is the father. We both have jobs and I told my boss and she said I can stay as long as I want, and then come back as soon as I want but the maternity leave isn't paid at my store because it's self owned. Although most of what I need medical wise is paid by the government. Woot for Canada.

Umm I'm going to try and help as much as i can answering you questions okya??

Well first off congrats, and we are in the same bout but i'm 21 and the fathers 17 (Yes i know hes really young!) and thats what scares me the most out of the whole thing to tell the truth! and my mother doesn't help telling me hes going to leave me when the baby comes... rolleyes

What about your parents, have you told them yet??? I know it can be scary hell when i told my mother we stopped talking for a few days but when she seen that i was taking the right steps and doing the right thing she started to come around to the whole thing so if you havn't told them maybe you should and get you mother (at lest) invoved take her to some of you not so personal doctors appointment like you nutretiones (sorry about the SP).

About they things to eat well if you have already seen what not to eat i guess you can eat anything else but i have told by my nutretiones to drink at lest a leater of milk a DAY, eat basicly eat and follow the canadian food guild. Eat lots of fiber it helps when you cant (this will sound grose but it's true) POOP redface

"feel like crap, I think I have a cold or somthing. " So did i whne i found out...came to find out thats called "Morning Sickness" it will pass but could come back throught out the Pregnantcy, mine went away for three weeks and came back for a day or two, just this week sweatdrop i know it's not FUN! Crying is a good thing to do because when your done the strees of the situation is gone for a day or two they you may want to sit and talk to the dad (it helps you out when you know what hes thinking)

About the healthy recipies, get a good healthy cook book they give you step by step recipies.

lol Get use to peeing in cups and blood work they do it alot ( i have RH - blood and i may have to get a needle every month but they dont know yet the blood tuyp of the dad because he's always working, no time to get it done sweatdrop ) The doctor told me im due in the middle of April as well biggrin and my first ultrasound is on the 27 of november (i cant wait nither but for me it will also tell me if i'm having twins...yea twins!! sweatdrop eek )

That about all the advice i have for you right now because you didn't put anymore questions so if you have anymore and you like my answers pm me with them biggrin *HUGS*
