Now what?

Hello!

I have been a poster over on the TTC/Infertility board and am fortunate enough to get to move over here now!!! I just got my bloodwork confirmation from my dr. I'm five weeks pregnant!

My question is...now what?

For TTC there are tons of websites to give information and stuff. Where do I find info for pregnancy. Not so much about what the baby is doing and developing, but more, how do I prepare for this new person, what is a snoogie, what stroller should I get, and things like that!

Re: Now what?

Some books may help...What to Expect When You're Expecting is a big hit and I'm currently reading Baby Bargains which has been helpful as far as gear goes. Plus, I have been reading a lot of reviews online. Congrats and welcome!!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Thanks everyone!!!!! I'm such a type A personality so I know I am going to plan the heck out of this. I am taking a prenatal, but it's the over the counter type. I see Dr. B again on Wednesday and maybe I'll ask for a prescription for one!

I feel like babycenter.com has a ton of useful articles/info.

I also liked the book "Pregnancy Week by Week" as far as what to expect with your body/baby.

Baby Bargains is a huge resource for baby gear and necessities.

I liked The Baby Book by Dr. Sears when DS was first born:

And found The Womanly Art Of Breastfeeding by LLL a huge help when we started BFing
