To inform the future father of the child
Yes, this person has as many rights to know about an important event as you are. But be prepared for the fact that he can not rush to you with hugs and cries: "Lord, happiness, what!" And not because he does not love you or does not want a child. Not at all! Just such a message from any man causes an incredible storm of emotions, and, quite possibly, the first outside will come up with some completely unsuitable idea, like: "Well, how can I now go fishing with Vasya?" If you are afraid of his unpredictable reaction , maybe it makes sense even to inform him about it remotely - for example, by phone? You look, while the future dad arrives at home, in his head this news will already be settled, and at the same time there will be a chance to buy you a fitting gift.
Visit your gynecologist
The doctor is the third person after us and the husband who needs to know about the changes in your life. In addition, in addition to the fact of pregnancy, you and your doctor have to determine many of its aspects and make it as soon as possible. The ultrasound shows the fact of pregnancy already on 4-5 weeks, and it is necessary to pass the examination. In order to exclude ectopic pregnancy and some complications. After the ultrasound, you will have the first photo of your child, though on it it will resemble, rather, the "beans", rather than the little man, but still cause a lot of pleasant emotions. The doctor will tell you how you will now have to behave, how often to come to the office, what tests to hand over. And you, in turn, need to find out if your doctor has the right to lead a pregnancy and give out all the necessary papers: exchange cards, hospital cards and certificates. Otherwise, you will need to think after some time about how to register with a women's consultation.
Change mode
If your pregnancy is confirmed, it makes sense to think about some changes in lifestyle. No, this does not mean that we urge you to go to bed and not get up from it all 9 months. Quite the contrary, traffic and fresh air now do not interfere. It is necessary to think about the fact that alcohol and cigarettes are now in the past, and if possible, take less time in nightclubs where there is a lot of smoke, as well as in sports halls (if this is not special classes in the group for expectant mothers) with their exorbitant physical load.
Start taking vitamins
Go to the pharmacy and buy the necessary vitamins. Your doctor probably already has already prescribed them for you. In any case, folic acid - this is what you need to start as early as possible. Also, complex vitamins for pregnant women do not interfere, but in a strictly specified dosage.
To please grandparents
Future grandmothers and grandfathers may well be confused when you tell them about the upcoming replenishment, but the sooner they learn about it, the more time they will have to prepare morally for the upcoming event.
Tell the joyful news to your employer
This should be done at the beginning of the second trimester, so as not to irritate the work team in advance, but if your pregnancy is accompanied by a toxicosis and you are very badly transferred visits to work, it would be good to open a secret - not to come up with new excuses for your delays and absenteees each time. Maybe you should not tell the news to the boss, but the immediate boss or partner who can replace you in case of something should be aware of the matter.
Make an audit of your wardrobe
Of course, from the moment you see the treasured stripes, before going to the store for special clothes for pregnant women, it can take a long time. But you can start experiencing discomfort in the waist much earlier. Choose from the clothes and underwear that you have now, the most comfortable, soft and elastic, remove far too tight jeans and too tight bras. Eliminate as much as possible "bones" and dense cups and give preference to elastic models.
Review your household duties
Together with her husband sit down and think about what duties you will share with him. For sure you can not now carry bags with potatoes. And if you have a strong toxicosis - you need someone to take charge of the shopping and cooking.
To think about finances
If you plan to leave after the birth in the decree (and surely it will happen), perhaps you should think about what makes sense now to postpone a small amount from the salary in order that in 7-8 months, when the decree finally comes , you had a small cash reserve for the future - spending is rather big. Even if the relatives will give you the cribs of the stroller, and the husband will pay the contract for childbirth, then for sure it will be uncomfortable for you to sit for a year or two in a decree without a penny of money, especially if before that you were fully self-sufficient.

Relax
To you now for certain it seems, that for 9 months all to be in time simply it is impossible. After all, you have serious preparation: to buy children's things, to make repairs in the nursery, to undergo medical examination, to read many important books about the upbringing and health of the crumbs, to find a replacement at work, to issue many necessary certificates, to choose a maternity home, a name for the baby, his future kindergarten and the school, the institute and the future work ... Stop! You have plenty of time to think it over and solve problems as they come. Just need to relax, feel harmony with yourself and the world, because pregnancy is a truly unique time, and it lasts not so long. Enjoy it, and you will have time!
