Pregnant? 9 things we should do when it happens

For a long time, one waited for this moment and then a thousand thoughts flash through the head. And it can go down a lot. Especially you! Wellbeing is inevitable with our checklist:

• Looking forward! Nothing compares to the moment when we learn that a little person is growing up in us. A heart's desire was fulfilled and that's just magical! Cries, laughs or cries out your eyes. Just let it all.
• Be scared! Yes, we have to allow that, too. Because a pregnancy brings many worries and changes with it. Being a parent is one of the bravest things we can do!
• Celebrate! With an extra large piece of cake just for you alone, together with the partner, your best friend or your own mom on the phone? There are many ways to celebrate two small strokes on the test strip. Find your own way! Later, you will always remember this moment.
• Get folic acid! Because it is the most important vitamin in the first months of pregnancy. This will ensure that the fetal central nervous system can develop healthily. Folic acid prevents many malformations in early pregnancy.
• Arrange doctorate data. To make sure that everything is going its right course, make a gynecologist appointment in a timely manner. This calms and helps to prepare well for the next nine months. The expert can help with worries about being pregnant and mothering, recommending help and other vitamins and trace elements against nausea and fatigue.
• Inform employer! Most women wait until the 12th week of pregnancy, because only then the pregnancy is really stable. Of course you can also let me know sooner. There is no obligation to report the pregnancy, and here, too, every expectant mother has her own pace. However, if the job is dangerous, it must be reported to the supervisor earlier. This is the only way the employer can take appropriate security precautions and also pay attention to the special dismissal protection for expectant mothers. Please also specify the date of birth.
• Take time! Now is the right time to do beautiful things. To enjoy the time as a couple or with friends again very intensively. Go for a walk and let your thoughts wander in peace.
• Shopping. Buy something nice! A smelling shower gel or lotion for the growing belly. The sweet music box, which we have looked at so often. A mother always remembers the first things she bought after the positive result. And later you can also tell the child about it.
• Do your thing! As soon as we have told everyone, the advice comes to us in containers. Now it is not to let it roll over! We find our own way. And ask if we want to know something!

More gut feeling, please!

When we listen to our gut feeling, we can not go wrong so much. Deep inside, we know exactly what is good for us (and the baby). And surprisingly, quite intuitively, what we have to do. Moms have superpower!
