Then What?

Question

I'm so focused on TTC baby #1 but I also want to plan ahead. So to all those mothers or informed people, what happens after the BFP? All opinions welcome 
Do/did u confirm pregnancy with a blood test at the doctor?

How soon did u tell ur significant other? Family? Friends? Ur boss?

How often are the doctor appointments?

What do u know now that u wish u had known then?

Thank you in advance! I don't really have close friends/family that I can talk to about this yet

Answer

Well I don't think much about it anymore. I am more focused on having good insurance and a good income for DH and me. Prenatal visits are usually covered. Honestly I think I don't want to plan or think too far ahead. I was holding back my life for ttc but now I just want to stay healthy and positive. I don't drink or smoke. I am done imagining scenarios in my mind of how it will be. It will be when the time is right and I will celebrate it with full happiness. I only told my mom that I'm trying and one close friend. No one else. I also think you can tell close family at 2 months or earlier but others at 3-4 months. Right now I'm more focused on the present and making it good will hopefully help make the future better! Best wishes and prayers for all of us!

Answer

After you get your Bfp, make an appt with your dr to confirm. I wouldn't tell friends/family til at least 8 weeks along (I waited til I was 12 weeks) but I did tell my boyfriend.
