When is the earliest you can get started?

I am due on the 1st Dec and I can't wait to meet my baby. I lost a child nearly 3 years ago. My baby was 6weeks old and die with spinal muscular atrophy. This pregnancy was a surprise and am only getting my head around it. I have been dealing with it but I can't sleep atm with having nightmare and other stuff playing on my mind. Am going to ask consultation if I can get started as soon as it's safe for baby and I. I see my consultant every 4 weeks to keep eye on me. I count down the days so I can make sure my baby is ok. Anyone been in my shoes?
