Pregnancy help?..

Question

Hi everyone! Part of me feels like I’m just having first pregnancy jitters but I’m wondering if some of you can help ease my mind. I’m 22 and just found out I’m pregnant a couple of days ago. Apparently I should be around 9-10 weeks already but I also have lupus which can make my pregnancy considered high risk. I just have a few questions. 
1. How early should I schedule a ob appointment? Will I have an ultrasound right away? 
2. I’m having light-mild cramps is that normal for this early? Should I be concerned?
3. I’m already having nausea but no morning sickness, is there anyway to combat it?
4. I’m always tired as hell and can’t really seam to get comfy anymore, any tips?
5. Can I take any medicine for headaches? 
And 6. Can I have a cup of coffee or should I just try and stay away?
These may seem really minor but Its my very first pregnancy and I’ll admit I’m scared as hell.. I live abroad with my boyfriend so I really don’t have my mom here with me. Thank you guys so much for the help! ❤️❤️

Answer

I don’t remember all the questions but you can have 200mg of caffeine a day. So drink your coffee. Most offices will do an ultrasound at 8-12wks. Cramping is normal in the first trimester so don’t worry! Mine felt just like period pains. You can take Tylenol for headaches. There is so much for nausea, so google and see what works for you. If it gets bad then your doctor may be able to get you medicine, depends on the lupus I guess.

Answer

If you’re around 9-10 weeks you will def get an ultrasound - make a list of questions for your first appt that you may have. For nausea, look into Preggo pops or just jolly rancher is what helped mine. You can take Tylenol for your headaches. Cramping is totally normal especially in the first trimester. Feeling tired is also normal however you’ll feel like throughout the whole 9 months at most times. Lol good luck and hope you have a smooth pregnancy!

Answer

I had my first ob appointment at 5 weeks because of prior miscarriages but most people have theirs between 8-12 weeks. I’d call and get one scheduled. 
Cramps are normal and so is a little spotting. But if it’s heavy bleeding then you need to go in. 
For nausea you can take tums, snack a lot, ginger ale and if it’s super bad ask your doctor for some zofran. 
And for headaches you can really only take Tylenol. 
Tired is totally normal and will be your new normal from here on out 😂
You can have like 2 cups of coffee a day or something like that. 200 mg of caffeine is perfectly fine.

Answer

You can definitely have a cup or two of coffee per day, and take Tylenol for headaches, but resuming caffeine may also help with the headaches. As for the nausea, preggo pops or anything sour definitely helped me, and there are different meds you can take either prescribed or over the counter. I would suggest calling your doctor as soon as possible to schedule an appointment. If you have lupus you may be considered high risk, and any meds you are on may need to be adjusted. And usually between 10-13 weeks is when you would have your first ultrasound. Good luck
