NEWBIE HERE, Need Basic Help
So, I took 3 HPT this weekend and all are preggos. I have a Dr. Apt 6/2/08! I can't believe this. After TTCing for a couple of months, I'm so elated.
I'm a regular poster but I'm using a different name because I dont' want to jinx myself, plus I have some extremely close friends that I want to tell once we go to the doctor and I want to tell them in person. DH and I are being cautious.
Got a couple of questions for you experts. According to my records, I'm probably about 5-6 weeks along. I'll let the doctor tell me for sure.
-Should I pick up prenatals at like CVS until my apt? The Doctor's office said it doesn't matter. Not sure?
-Beverages, ok, love my soda. I know Diet is no good, should I stick with Ginger Ale? My stomach has been kinda funky for the past two weeks and the Ginger Ale has def. helped.
Thanks

Def make sure you are getting your folic acid. Sprite, ginger ale, and root beer are fine, they are all deacf. No diet anything and limit caffeine intake. Congratulations and welcome!

i agree with this - i actually got very good prenatals from target, but they are all pretty much the same.
my dr. told me (and your will be more clear when it comes to their "rules") that you can have the occasional diet sode but you should limit your intake of artificial sweeteners (which is in diet soda). i lived on seltzer and sprite in the beginning!

Re: NEWBIE HERE, Need Basic Help
Thanks, I appreciate all the advice. I'll def. head to target tonight and get some. The receptionist on the phone said it was ok to take an over the counter. DH and I are eagerly waiting on 6/2 Dr. Apt. I wish we could have gotten in sooner. GRRR Oh well, it should be worth it!
