I just found out I'm pregnant on Monday the 14th. I find out friday how far along i am. anywhere from 2weeks to 5weeks.  Is there any advise I can have? Things to expect to happen to my body through this? Anything I should stay away from? I appreciate any comments.

You CAN have caffine, just dont over do it like 16 oz or so a day. I have never heard that you can't have pork, i eat it all of the time along with deli meat sandwiches and both baby and I are perfectly healthy. The really only medicine that is knowm to be safe to take for pain is tylenol but if you have questions on any meds ask your doctor. Fish is fine as long as it isn't high in mercury such as shark. You can get mani and pedis if the smell bothers you from being in the nail salon you can ask for a mask.You can dye your hair, try to find a dye that is ammonia(sp) free and try to be in an open area, you might not get the color you expect from your hormones though. Cramping is normal from your uterus expanding. Some spotting is as well as lomg as it is dark red or brown. If bright red along with cramping then you should be concerned. Uhm... you may or may not get the same symptoms as everyone else and you might get everyone in the book don't be afraid if you do or don't get them

No soft cheeses, seafood high in mercury, alcohol, left over or cold chicken & undercooked meat (rare steaks) stay away from pork especially but ham & bacon arnt too good either

Caffeine is a no, also nurofen and other aspirin like medications. These were main ones apart from obvious alcohol, smoking and so on. Congratulations! Don't forget to celebrate before morning sickness kicks in xx

If you have any pets make sure you stay away from their urine. If you cats that's a big one, don't change their litter boxes or if you small animals like guinea pigs or hamsters. It's just the chemicals they carry.
