The first week of pregnancy is actually your menstrual period. The baby will not be formed as yet. The due is actually calculated from the last period and hence your menstrual period is also included in the 40 weeks of pregnancy. If you have planned for pregnancy then you will be delivering a baby in another nine months and seven days.
The first week of pregnancy is more of planning for pregnancy. As a mother, if you are preparing to get conceived, you should have good heath habits. Avoid alcohol, drugs and other products containing tobacco. Many birth defects will occur in the fetus if you smoke during the first week of preparation. You have to consult the doctor and take medication according to your health condition. When you take medicines for your problems already, discuss about your pregnancy plans with your doctor.
A healthy diet is very important for the mother during the first week of pregnancy. Especially, you should take adequate amount of folic acid, as women attempting to become pregnant require 400 micrograms per day. Before taking folic acid supplements, you have to consult your doctor. If you plan well and maintain your health, you have higher chances of conceiving a healthy baby.
