5th Week of Pregnancy

After you have revealed that you are POSITIVE and there's a living being inside your womb, next will all be worries about your appearance. At this week, all you have in mind is the question “Will I still be sexy or beautiful even though I'm pregnant”? And other goes “I hope I wont have a lot of stretch marks”. For some, “What if my baby will be abnormal or he will die inside my womb”? Well! For those who can read this, it is a natural concern that every woman should know. Not only pregnant mothers but also all the ladies out there, for them to be aware of what will happen in the cycle of pregnancy. And these worries will make you lead a step to prevent miscarriage, because this is the common problem in the first trimester of pregnancy. Noticeable signs should be reported immediately like persistent pain in the lower back or too much discharge from the mother's vagina.

Initial step to do is to visit your physician and have a check up then calculate your due date so that your health care provider would know what to recommend you and gave you prescriptions on the vitamins you need to take, mainly Folic acid (approximately .4 mg) because it contains a high iron content. Don't take OTC or over the counter drugs for it may harm the baby. Live a healthy lifestyle and exercise regularly, read different books about the effects, top recommended and as well as the warning signs of exercise. Maintain a healthy diet and take care of yourself for your becoming child. Certain concerns includes the previously unknown infection or problems with the woman's cervix and uterus that will be categorized as risk factors. Woman who excessively smokes, drink alcohol or even take drugs are at risk for problems with their pregnancy and may lead to miscarriage. 

There are different reactions for every person who takes a positive test. Some will hide it for months, afraid that their parents or relatives will know. While some are too excited and some would even dance with joy because they will now become a mother and look forward to hug and kiss her child in the next coming months to come. And tell you! You wont forget this certain moment of your life. Just buy at least 3-4 pregnancy test kit to make sure that you are really positive and the first test is not defective. Lastly is to talk to your husband (if you have), especially your parents when your a teen, and as well as your doctor for recommendations. Tell them what you feel and just relax, take a deep breath. And now tell yourself “I will be a great mom”!
