First Trimester Checklist

Your complete to do list from weeks 1 to 13 to get ready for baby!

Get prepared for baby now that you have a positive pregnancy test!

1

Take a prenatal vitamin. Prenatal vitamins typically have more folic acid and iron in them than regular vitamins.

2

Cut down on caffeine. While it’s still okay to have your cup of coffee during the day, you probably shouldn’t be drinking 5 cups a day or having an energy drink.

3

Start drinking lots of water. Some women may experience dizziness and lightheadedness during pregnancy – drinking lots of water and staying hydrated is a good way to help combat this. 

4

Start using a pregnancy planner! Writing during your pregnancy will not only help you feel more organized and put together, but you’ll be more at ease throughout your pregnancy.

5

Call to schedule your first appointment! When you call to make your appointment, try to remember the first day of your last period.  

6

Find childcare. If you’re planning to send your child to daycare or have a nanny, it’s so important to start researching and interviewing child care options as soon as possible.
