As soon as you confirm your pregnancy, schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider.

• Confirm the pregnancy
• Estimate your due date
• Review your medical history
• Perform blood and urine tests
• Check your weight, blood pressure, and overall health
• Possibly perform an early ultrasound

Early prenatal visits help identify any potential health concerns right away.

Prenatal vitamins are essential in the first trimester.

If you haven't started prenatal vitamins yet, begin immediately after confirming pregnancy.

Your body needs extra nutrients—but not "eating for two."

• Lean proteins (chicken, fish low in mercury, beans, eggs)
• Whole grains
• Fruits and vegetables
• Healthy fats (nuts, seeds, avocados)

Small, frequent meals can help manage nausea.

Nausea and vomiting are common in the first trimester.

Aim for 8–10 glasses of water per day. Proper hydration:

• Reduces headaches
• Helps with constipation
• Supports increased blood volume

If your pregnancy is low-risk, light to moderate exercise is encouraged.

Hormonal changes can affect your mood. It's normal to feel excited, anxious, or overwhelmed.

• Get enough rest
• Talk openly with your partner
• Join a pregnancy support group
• Practice relaxation techniques
