🤰 Just found out you're pregnant? Congratulations! 💗
Here are 5 things to do next:
Contact your GP or midwife to get your NHS maternity care started.
Start taking folic acid (400mcg daily) and check which vitamins are recommended.
Make a few lifestyle changes – avoid alcohol, smoking and check which foods to avoid.
Look after yourself – rest, eat well and ask your healthcare professional about any medication you're taking.
Book a private pregnancy scan if you'd like an extra opportunity to see your little one. Choose a scan suitable for your stage of pregnancy.
Remember, private scans are an additional experience and don't replace your routine NHS maternity appointments and scans.
✨ Enjoy every moment of your pregnancy journey! ✨
