Congratulations! Basically, calling your doctor and taking the prenatal vitamins are your first steps. Your body will help you figure out what you can eat and what you can't (although there are some foods you should avoid as a general rule; unpasteurized soft cheeses, fish with high Mercury content, etc), and it will likely let you know when you need some rest. Your doctor will be able to help you figure out next steps after your first appointment.

In addition heat up lunch meat before eating and avoid hot dogs.....avoid caffeine.....no heavy lifting...some women visit dentist for a cleaning because your more prone to cavities and maybe gum disease when pregnant something about the hormones.
