“Some ladies requested I handle this topic so here goes… WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU DISCOVER YOU ARE PREGNANT. Now, I know.. It’s scary and a mixed emotions kind of affair even when you were ready and trying. The horrifying stories of childbirth at the back of our minds now are ringing hard. Don’t worry though. Women have done it, so shall you.

(1) START TAKING A PRENATAL VITAMIN
Most docs will actually recommend you start taking this as soon as you let them know you’re trying to conceive. Why? The nutrients are essential to your baby’s development, in particular in the first four weeks. Look for a supplement that contains at least 400 milligrams of folic acid (crucial to the baby’s brain health) and an omega-3 of DHA (this helps with visual and cognitive growth).

(2) CALL YOUR OB-GYN
It makes sense to call now and book an appointment so you’re on the schedule and they can run through any recommendations for the first few weeks.

(3)THEN CALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY
You’ll want to know of what’s covered and what’s not, based on your plan, so that you can start budgeting early for any high-deductible expenses. (Even a high deductible can catch you off guard.) Important details to confirm include finding out the portion of hospital bills they’ll pay for, as well as prescribed medical tests. It also never hurts to triple check that your OB-GYN is in a network.
Don’t forget to Check your NHIF payments especially if you are self-employed.

(4)START MOURNING ALL THE FOODS YOU CAN NO LONGER EAT
RIP soft cheeses, lunch meats, raw seafood and, wine.
