Current guidelines recommend early prenatal care, preferably around six weeks, for your first visit with a healthcare provider. Many women feel nauseated and throw up in early pregnancy. You are not alone, though you may feel scared and tired during this time in your pregnancy. Many women have constant nausea throughout the first twelve weeks, with some women having symptoms for a few weeks longer. Try to figure out what makes you feel better.
Many women do better with small sips of carbonated clear sodas, and saltine crackers.
Moms usually feel their babies move by 18 weeks. The baby actually is moving much earlier, but new moms are not able to detect this movement until around the 16th week of pregnancy. You should only gain 15 pounds during your pregnancy. This is what our mothers were told. However, most providers now recommend a weight gain of between 25 and 40 pounds for healthy women.
