Step 1
After you find out that you are pregnant, you need to register with the antenatal clinic. You should take a responsible approach to the choice of a doctor, because it is this person who will advise you throughout all 9 months. Ask friends girls, listen to reviews. Perhaps your local polyclinic has some good doctors, and you can choose the best one.

At almost every examination, the doctor will order you to have blood and urine tests. Don't ignore these guidelines. The results of these studies allow you to monitor your health, which is very important for your baby's development.

Step 3
Three times during pregnancy, you should routinely undergo an ultrasound examination (ultrasound). This type of control gives a complete picture of how your child is growing and how much his development corresponds to the norms of a given period. Many intrauterine diseases of the fetus are curable, it is important to notice them in time. Perhaps some acquaintances will dissuade you from ultrasound and talk about its detrimental effect on the child. Do not succumb to the wave of such prejudices, the harm of this examination has not been scientifically proven.

Follow all your doctor's orders and try to self-control. Be responsible for your diet and physical condition. Proper physical activity is very important during pregnancy. It may not be easy, but you will appreciate your work when you give life to a healthy and strong baby.
