How do I go about caring for my pregnancy?

After been sick every morning a tests just confirmed that I’m pregnant and even though it wasn’t expected me and my boyfriend are thrilled, how do I go about first scans and such? I’ve booked an appointment with the doctor in two days time, do they sort out hospital scans etc? Also, is there any way to kinda of deal with morning sickness? I know its a normal part of pregnancy but is there anything I can do to stop me running to be sick at work or anything?

Only sensible answers please, not ones about ‘I’m throwing my life away young’ Thanks Erin :)

Hi,

One thing that will help with morning sickness is eating saltine crackers. They help coat your stomach and are bland, so they don’t upset your tummy.

Once you make the first appointment/checkup with your OBGYN doctor, he or she will help you with all of the medical stuff you have to do.
