I recently found out that my boyfriend and I are expecting, after going back and looking at my calendar I have to be close to 9 weeks. I'm kind of concerned because before I found out I've been drinking and smoking cigarettes. I'm very nervous about going to my first appointment. Can any tell me what medications I can take for cramping? What should I stay away from as far as food? Any advice? This is my second baby but it's been awhile sense I've been pregnant so I don't really remember much. is it true you show faster with your second one?

only medications you can take for cramping is Tylenol and as for drinking and smoking as long as you stop now YouTube okay<3 so will baby my Ob says nothing raw and eat fish cautiously

Is Tylenol extends release okay?

You should try to stay away from any medication at least during your first trimester, but the drinking and smoking honestly shouldn't effect the baby as long as you have stopped now. I was also drinking and smoking before I found out, but quit when I knew. I have read all these studies and honestly if you quit smoking before 15wks, you have the exact same chance of your baby having problems as someone who has never smoked a day in their life.

here is what I was given and that Tylenol should be fine

Yes, I have stopped smoking as soon as I found out and wow that's crazy. I didn't know that. @babymay2016

I'm not like super educated about it and I'm sure it would be better to not smoke at all. But I read that in multiple studies and found it pretty interesting!

Awesome! Thank you so much @hermommy

no problem girl:)

Yeah as soon as I found out I felt so guilty about smoking and recently we had went to a get together and I had a few drinks. My periods are really regular so I waited awhile to test so I felt really bad. @babymay2016

Yeah I wouldn't worry about it girl! I was drinking when I conceived and also the next couple weekends, and then I realized I had missed a period and my baby's father wanted to drink again, so I insisted on taking a test before we did and turns out I am pregnant. Baby should be totally fine. My doctor never said anything about it.
