| Step | What to Do | Why It Matters | How to Do It | |------|------------|----------------|--------------| | 1A. Confirm Prenatal Care | Schedule an obstetric visit as soon as possible (ideally within the first trimester). | Early monitoring helps manage any pregnancy‑related risks and gives you a baseline for the baby’s health. | Call a local OB‑GYN, midwife, or a community health clinic. If cost is a concern, ask about sliding‑scale fees or Medicaid eligibility. | | 1B. Review Medications | Bring a list of any prescription, over‑the‑counter, or herbal products you’re taking. | Some medicines can affect fetal development; your provider can adjust dosages or suggest alternatives. | Write everything down (including supplements) before the appointment. | | 1C. Emergency Contact Plan | Identify who will help you get to a hospital quickly (partner, family, friend, neighbor). | In a crisis (e.g., sudden bleeding, severe abdominal pain), every minute counts. | Keep a list of phone numbers on your fridge and in your phone. | | 1D. Nutrition & Prenatal Vitamins | Start a prenatal multivitamin with at least 400 µg folic acid daily, if you haven’t already. | Folic acid reduces the risk of neural‑tube defects. Good nutrition supports both you and the baby. | Ask your provider for a recommended brand; many pharmacies carry low‑cost options. |
