First Trimester
1)
Find an OB/GYN.
-If you've already got a doctor you love, you're all set. Otherwise, you've got some homework to do! During this time of change, finding an OB/GYN that you're comfortable with can make all the difference. Ask your family and friends for doctors they recommend. Research patient reviews online. Once you've narrowed it down, set up a meeting with him or her to see if it's a good fit.
2)
Look into health insurance and pediatricians.
Now that you're expecting, there will be lots of doctor appointments to come. Check to see what your health insurance covers throughout your pregnancy. Speak with your insurance company and discuss your benefits regarding prenatal care, delivery costs, and care for your child after delivery.
3)
Keep a pregnancy journal
Being pregnant is an experience like no other. Keep a journal of all your pregnancy milestones, how you're feeling, take weekly belly photos to see how your baby has grown, and scrapbook your most special events: pregnancy announcements, baby showers, a gender reveal party, delivery day, and more.
4)
Rest.
Ensuring that you don't overwork yourself is critical while pregnant. Rest. Take time to relax. Your baby (and tired feet) will thank you.
5)
Stay hydrated.
We know, we know. Guzzling water isn't your favorite, but understand how it benefits your baby. Staying hydrated and drinking lots of water during pregnancy can help prevent birth defects and delivery complications. If your urine is dark (yep, we said it), you're not getting enough water into your system. Staying hydrated throughout the day, every day, is so important to support a healthy mom and baby.
6)
If you're a smoker, quit.
It's as simple as that. Smoking while pregnant is known to cause a variety of problems, from preterm delivery to fatal birth defects. Smoking during pregnancy is a huge no-no
