Important Things to Remember During

Pregnancy

After you get to know that you’re pregnant, you need to make an appointment with your physician. Your first visit will probably be when you are six to eight weeks

pregnant.

Tests Done During First Visit to the Physician

•Pelvic examination for checking out the shape and size of your uterus and condition of the cervix

•Blood and urine tests samples are going to be taken on fist visit and again when you visit later

•Sometimes ultrasound will be done for checking out the growth of your baby or figuring out when the baby is due

You should talk to your doctor to know how much weight you must gain. It is different for different woman. However most of the women gain about 25-35 pounds.

Unless there is any problem detected in pregnancy, you can probably do all the exercisesthat you did before you were pregnant. Exercise may help ease the discomfort that occurs at the

time of pregnancy. Try to exercise at least half an hour every day.

What to do to feel better?

Women often experience morning sickness, nausea, tiredness or lack of energy or threatened miscarriage during pregnancy. Weekly acupuncture treatments

have proved to be quite beneficial during first trimester.
