Hello. I am 36 and pregnant (only 5 weeks and 2 days). I told my husband and he had a complete meltdown with worry for the baby’s health and my own health. He worries our house isn’t ready. Recently, he’s been saying that we can’t have pets with a baby. I want to know how many people have pets with babies and how you prepared your pets.
Hello. I am 36 and pregnant for the first time. I am also around 300 pounds. I know there are significant risk factors for my baby caused by both of those facts. I’m only about 5 weeks (just missed a period on Thursday and took a test Saturday. Took 5 actually.) My first doctor’s appointment to “confirm” pregnancy is August 5th. I have some questions.
1). August 5th seems like a long time away. Is that a normal amount of time to wait?
2). Are there things I can do to help the embryo stay strong and make it to the appointment?
3). Should I tell my husband and family or wait until after my appointment? (I know it’s up to my discretion, but I would like advice)
4). Will doing strenuous things like lifting and doing hard deep cleaning put me at a greater risk of complications in this first trimester?
5). How do I not worry about things like this?
Thank you!
