Most doctors recommend you schedule your first appointment for when you are approximately 8-12 weeks pregnant. You will be given an ultrasound to investigate your pregnancy and confirm your due date.
It’s natural to feel a little anxious about having your first ultrasound. Talk to your doctor, nursing practitioner or sonographer beforehand and take someone with you for extra support.
You may experience nausea, breast tenderness, increased urination and fatigue at this time but this is normal and will soon pass. Foods that can help alleviate morning sickness include crackers, Marie biscuits, ginger tea and green apples.
