The mood may also vary, partly due to the action of hormones and in part by the liability or the satisfaction of creating a new life.

You may feel:

* Happy, especially if it has been a wanted pregnancy
* Incredulous, because in many cases not notice anything, even the blood test or even the first scan are not entirely convinced

At the time that the new state has been confirmed you must ask yourself a number of things to start changing your life. The nights of partying until all are finished for a while. Look at it as something positive, because you are making an extremely important task and magical. Take it easy and take care begins, it is the best way to care for your unborn baby. Cooperation with partners is essential. Now begin nine months where your partner should take care of some chores with which you shall not, by your state first, and then because the baby's care will not leave you time. Little by little, if by helping your partner, now both going to be a computer on which the two colaboraréis. So when the baby is born, he may perform household chores, while you rest and take care of the newborn.

In the same way that the baby is changing inside you, things abroad also must be adapted to the new situation to come. Sleep as much as possible; as fatigue take hold of you, beat you sleep. Listen to your body and all the messages you send: Changes in your tummy, swollen legs, heart, little by little have a greater burden because of pregnancy is generated about 1.5 more liters of blood, breasts growing, and so on. These signs are unique to pregnancy and only you will when you're brewing, or to enjoy them.

During the first month the exterior changes are minimal, but what happens inside is of paramount importance.

The time of delivery
Possible delivery date is calculated by adding thirty-eight weeks from the date of conception or forty at the time of the last menstruation. As it is quite difficult to know when the baby was conceived, most physicians make reference to that date. To avoid being sent each time telling which week of pregnancy you are, you can write on a calendar the number of weeks until week 40, and thus avoid telling you when you need to know. In cases of multiple pregnancy, it usually lasts less, because babies can not fit inside your mom. In other cases, both can go ahead as delayed, but not recommended a delay of two weeks.

How and when to say it?
Once you are sure of your new situation will be very difficult to remain silent. If you have not opened the envelope or blood test done together, you can prepare a meal or a romantic weekend, certainly not forget it, especially if the first child. Remember your own feelings when you found out and think you might not expect it. Maybe the doubts and fears assail him suddenly, give it time. Decide together when to say it to others to whom. There are people who can not hold back and start calling everyone you know, even the premium in Germany which never calls. Others wait in case there are any problems, saving you the annoyance of calling back to say he was not well. Most people expect it more intimate and hopes to go public by the third month. If you already have other siblings in the family, it is preferable depending on the age wait until the pregnancy is already quite visible, as toddlers do not have much sense of time, or be the first to know them as this makes them a very important role as bearers of the news.
The choice of medical equipment
It seems too early to decide what type of birth you have, but although you can always change doctors, gynecologist type you choose determines whether the delivery will be more or less interventionist, and even how much your opinion be heard at the crucial moment. All will give you a healthy pregnancy and baby, but the road to reach this target can be very different. You can interview you with several before you decide to visit one or longer and as your pregnancy continues to consider whether the type of doctor you want.

Advice
All the advice we gave you in preparing for pregnancy (smoking cessation, exercise, etc.) apply even more important once the baby is already growing in your belly. Remember that the first 14 weeks are vital to the development of your baby. Recently, investigations have revealed how and when diet, health, emotional state and exposure to environmental agents affect the formation of the fetus. According to one theory, fatigue and nausea that many women experience during early pregnancy, are a way to protect the embryo. When this phase is most vulnerable, the mother tends to decrease their physical activity and maintaining a simple diet. Apparently the cause of this situation is the hormone hCG begins to be detected on the first week after conception and has its maximum value to the tenth week, then decreased rapidly. Despite the cumbersome it is for many mothers discomfort early in the pregnancy, this is an indication that the placenta is developing well and there is less risk of abortion.
