I just found out today and I'm working all this week.
If I call the doctors office will I need to go in this week or when should I?
Thanks. Also, How often do you usually go during a pregnancy?

You call your doctor and you get in when they have an appointment for you. Many doctors do not take patients before 13 weeks. For now, make sure you are taking prenatal vitamins. You can get them over-the-counter at any drug store.

As for doctor's visits...

You go once a month for the first seven months, then twice a month for the eighth month, then once a week for your final month of pregnancy.

Wow that's a lot of going to the doctor.
Well I just told my mom this morning and she wants me to go get a blood test done today?
Could I get in today?
And I was on birthcontrol and I just stopped taking it, is that right I should do that?
I also only think I'm 2 or 4 weeks maybe so is it too soon.

Yes, you just stop taking the birth control pills.

It's okay to go to the doctor for a blood test, but at 2-4 weeks there's nothing the doctor will most likely do except for putting you on prenatal vitamins.

OK I went to the doctor and I go back in two weeks.
Will they just be talking to be then about everything?
Also, I can't take the big vitamin pills. Is it OK to chew it up and take them?
I think I am about 5 weeks now, not positive till I go backi guess.

Unless the bottle says to chew, then you should just swallow them! They are pills for a reason.

OK thanks, I talk to my nurse and they told me to take two flinstone vitamins a day.
Also, would my due date be June 10, 2010 is my last period was Sept 2, 2009?
Thanks.

I meant Sept 3, 2009. Sorry.

June 11, 2010... if going off the Septemeber 3, 2009 date!

Thanks! How far along am I?
5 weeks?
Also, I've chewed up tylonall before when I have a headace and it works.
Is that OK to do now? If I have a headace.

Yes you are 5 weeks! Every Thursday will start a new week for you!

Yay thank you.
If I have a headace is it OK to take tylonal?
Is it OK to chew it up ot crush it up and take it?
OR I could just take the kids kind.
Which should I do? Thank, because I get headaces a lot usually.

It's okay to take Tylenol, but don't crush or chew it. If you can't swallow pills you can take the liquid Tylenol.

To be honest.. I can't swallow pills either. I chew them up and I am also pregnant...
I take Tylenol for my headaches. I suffer from migraines and cannot take my Excedrine Migrain so Tylenol it is!

As a nurse, I advise my patients not to crush or chew Tylenol as it is specially designed to release differently when swallowed whole. Liquid Tylenol is better if you cannot swallow pills.

I am just telling you what I do and my doctor knows about it and is completely fine with it!

That's okay if your doctor is fine with it.

I'm just telling you what I tell my patients. I am an OB nurse.

I understand that you are an OB nurse and I think your advice is good as well. I just think my doctor knows it is easier for me to chew up pills... so he lets me do it :)

Thanks ladys for your advise. I thinki will ask my doctor when I go next week and see what he says. Thank you.
Im also having a lot of acne. Any suggestions on how to help that?

LOL... when I first found out, my hair and face were like a grease fest with lots of acne. I found some clarifying Shampoo and started using Stridex pads during the day and everything has improved so much! Good luck!
