okay. so this is my first child. im only about 2 months pregnant and i dont know what im doing.

make an appointment with your doctor

i did i have one on the 9th but im scared. im 23 i dont know how to be a mom @paisleysmom9

Then get some prenatal vitamins. Make sure they have iron. Gummy vitamins do not have iron.

I'm sure we were all scared. My baby wasn't planned. There is no book out there that can tell you how to be a mom. Like my dad said you just gotta wing it and use your best judgment ☺

this will be my second child. It's not easy by no means but no reason to be scared being a mom isn't scary being a mom is being strong caring and loving and understanding.

private message me if you have questions Ill be able to hopefully answer them

yea imma try that but my cousin said some people are not able to hold them down. but my womans dr said Flintstone gummys are good too. @princesslina

okay will do ty @paisleysmom9

I have the Flintstones chewable tablets because the gummies will not have iron in it. That's what makes women sick. The iron. But it's essential for you and your baby because you could be like me with low iron which can lead to anemia. So if you take the gummies be sure to switch to ones with iron by the second trimester

yea i am anemic ive been doing grape juice and grapes caise they have iron. and chicken livers. @princesslina

You really should take a prenatal pill just because it has folic acid in it.

what about nausea i was given zofran but im scared to take it my cousin said it causes defects. @mcrowell0970

@mcrowell0970 wonderful advice I wish I had someone to tell me all of that! Lol

@paisleysmom9 okay ill try it

@xxforgottenxx I took Zofran when I was hospitalized and I was worried about the same thing... But my baby is fine. However I took it at 23 weeks. I didn't like it because it made me so drowsy I woke up with the effects hours later. Groggy and disoriented

Hahaha me too! @mcrowell0970 and @xxforgottenxx i checked my tablets. It has folic acid.

Here's one side

Here's the other. Nurse said it was okay because I couldn't handle my prenatal.

I really wanna go back to my prenatal though because the ingredients are made for us!
