Ok, So I am joining you all. I am a bit surprised. My period is due tomorrow, but I knew this morning. So I went and got a test, then another and another and CRAP! All 3 have 2 lines.
So where do I start? What are the important things that I need to do? Please help.

Congrats!!! Up your water and protein. A little more calcium. Folic acid. Call the doc to get an official test done so you can start getting in to the ob. I take 2 prenatal vitamins, 3 calcium, b complex, b12 shot monthly and prevacid. Thats the daily and monthly so far. Waiting for next blood tests to show what may need to be added. Welcome to the board!

See your Nut asap and start a Folic Acid suppliment along w/ your prenatle. I was also advised to take 3 calcium chews but spread them out through out the day because you can only absorb 500mg at a time.

Congratulations!!

Thank you Ashlie! I will call the Nut tommorrow. I have noticed that the last few days I am not hungry at all. I am having a hard time eating anything. I do still suppliment 60 grams of protein in shake form. But I will start spreading my vits out a bit more. Thanks

OMG DIANE!!!!

Welcome to the group!

You're far enough out that you should be good. Just have your OB watch your labs. Your going to need extra vitamins. I take 2 prenatals and 3 iron daily (I'm anemic though) and I give myself a B12 shot once a week (it's smaller than the one Dr. Roe gives out monthly)

Watch for ketosis. You have to add carbs back in not alot, just enough to keep you from being in ketosis. Dr. Roe and my high risk ob disagree here. He doesn't think there is a risk, but my OBs said if I didn't add like 100g of carbs into my diet, I could cause Brain damage, especially early on... so I did and have had no problems leaking keytones.

Watch your water intake, you may find it's hard to get enough in due to morning sickness. I have been extremely dehydrated at times because I have HG, but I have amazing meds that help.

I am SO excited for you! YAY! The ladies here are very, very well informed and will answer your questions as best they can!

WELCOME AND CONGRATS!
