First appt is not needed until 8 weeks. So hopefully this will start to slow down and will be safer to go outside then.

Prenatal ASAP.

Max-HSA ASAP.

Don’t tell anyone for a while. Can’t remember how many weeks you’re supposed to wait, and it’ll suck to keep to yourself, but it’s best to give it some time.

Doing well financially? Start a 529 college saving fund, especially with the market so depressed right now. You can open it in your name and switch it to your child’s name after they’re born. Pre-seed it with a few grand and then auto-invest $100 (or some amount) each month. 18 years and 9ish months from now, they’ll be set for university.

You’ll want to get into OBGYN office soon. They will start monitoring pregnancy. You prob will have to go once a month in a healthy pregnancy with more appointments towards the end. Wonder if you can teledoc your primary care physician for some counsel during these times.

No need to actually go into the OBGYN until 8-10 weeks, so hopefully we’ll be past the peak then. I’m sure the OBGYN will have procedures in place when you do to try and keep you safe.

Immediately start taking a prenatal multivitamin.

If you start getting painful cramping and it’s still early in the pregnancy call your doctor, don’t immediately go to the hospital. I had a few miscarriages and my friend who had one before me suggested not immediately going to an emergency room because they can’t do much that early in a pregnancy anyway and they would have rather have been at home going through it. I was happy I didn’t. Just call your doctor and they’ll tell you what to do. You don’t want to unnecessarily risk getting the virus while your immunity is low. (Sorry to be a Debbie downer, but after having one kid with no issues and then it taking more than a year to have a second, I think women should hear more about miscarriage so they don’t have to feel so alone if it happens, as it is really normal for it to happen).

I’m sure everything will go just fine (statistics are in your favor) and you’ll have a great story to tell your kid someday about how you were pregnant with them during a global pandemic. I give birth in a month so I understand.

I thought I was having a miscarriage a few weeks ago when the lockdown started. My obgyn said not to go to the ER unless I was in excruciating pain and suspected an ectopic. Turns out it was a synchronic hematoma which has since resolved. But she was concerned about contracting the virus at the hospital and they were advising people to avoid if possible.

like

Congrats - having kids was the best thing I have done in my life.

Congrats. Remember. People have been having babies for a long ass time. You’ll be fine. Just stay inside your house like that kiddo is staying in you. It’ll all be fine. I have a mess of kids. They are driving me fucking crazy.

Give yourself a hug, be gentle to you. Take a breath, and congrats! Worrying about your health and knowing it’s critical is step 1. You’re well on your way! What wonderful news the world needs right now.

Make a telemedicine appt for medical advice. Good luck!

Worst part is, dealers are sitting around and have got nasty at my sister and I when they’ve been trying to milk us.
