A member asked:

Morning doctor yesterday i took a pregnancy test and tested positive and wanted to know how long i can stay before going to the doctors to get started with the steps one needs to take when they are pregnant ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Never too early!: It is never "too early" to get started with pregnancy care. If I had my way as a pediatrician, women would start prenatal care before conception. They should certainly stop things like drinking, smoking and drugs before the fetus is exposed- in other words, before getting pregnant. You can certainly do those things now, and also start a PNV early on (like now) to prevent neural tube defects.
