Frequently asked questions
When can I take a pregnancy test?
When can I take a pregnancy test?
Home pregnancy tests can be used before a missed period; however, they are most accurate on the first day after a missed period. For those with irregular periods, it’s recommended to wait approximately three weeks after unprotected sex for the most reliable result.
Can I keep drinking coffee during pregnancy?
Research has explored whether caffeine consumption increases the risk of miscarriage or preterm birth, but the findings remain inconclusive. Most experts agree that drinking about one cup of coffee daily—equivalent to 12 ounces (200 milligrams) of caffeine—is safe. When calculating your total caffeine intake, be sure to consider other sources such as tea, chocolate, soft drinks, and more.
How much kicking should I feel? When should I be concerned?
I discuss this frequently with my patients, as I understand new moms often feel concerned. Most first-time mothers won’t feel any movement (kicking) until around the fifth month of pregnancy. In a second pregnancy, movement is usually felt earlier because you’re more familiar with the sensation.
Are there activities I should avoid in the first trimester of pregnancy?
Very few activities are off-limits. Scuba diving, water-skiing, and skydiving are not allowed due to the risk of serious injury or even death. Otherwise, nearly all exercises—such as jogging, stair-climbing, swimming, NordicTrack, Power/Health Riders, and even sex—are generally safe. None of these activities are linked to an increased risk of miscarriage in a healthy pregnancy.
I feel so tired. How can I help myself feel better?
Feeling fatigued is normal, especially during the first and early second trimesters. Hormonal changes in pregnancy significantly increase cardiac output, likely contributing to this exhaustion. By 10 to 12 weeks, your heart may be pumping an additional liter of blood per minute. This, combined with the high energy demands of uterine muscle growth, can leave you feeling very tired!
