Women love control and trying to conceive based on work schedule, age or seasons. But if you successfully conceived, your soon-to-be baby will not care of your schedule.
Be in Your Best State of Health
Realistically speaking, but the first few weeks of pregnancy are actually the most crucial. With some luck, you are still eating normally and trying to conceive. By the time that you’ve missed even one period, 80% of organ development starts to take place already. The face, limbs and heart begins to form according to Robert Greene, PhD, the director of Defects Center at University of Louisville.
If you are smoking, then you better restrain yourself from a stick. Avoid drinking as well and make sure to take multivitamins that contain folic acid. On the other hand, if you accidentally did something unhealthy because you don’t know you’re expecting a baby, do everything to clean up your system.
Talk to Your OB
Your OB will want to see you in your first trimester, typically around 8 weeks. This is to establish viability like listening to heartbeat, confirming the number of fetuses whether you have one, twins etc. Additionally, your OB-GYNE will be running sensitive tests.
