Have you thought about how you will feed your baby? Half of the babies in the United States are bottle-fed, while the other 50 percent are breastfed. While many people will try to sway you one way or the other, be sure to do what is right for you, what you feel comfortable with, and what will work for you and your family. There is no wrong answer. Your doctor will probably want to see you every two weeks for a while. If you haven't taken a childbirth class, you may want to do some reading on the subject to familiarize yourself with what will be happening during labor and delivery. Your doctor may wish to test for your blood type now to determine if you need what is called a Rhogam shot. A Rhogam will prevent complications if you and your baby have a different type of blood. If you partner does not know his blood type, he may want to have his blood typed as well. Photo submitted by Babies Online member Marci J of Junction City, Oregon: "This about the time I found out that I have gestational diabetes. It's a scary time, but the baby is doing well, and moving A LOT. Just found out today that the baby is about 3.4lbs already. It's going to be a big one. It's been fun so far and I can't wait to meet this little person. " |
