Hi

I can answer no 1 quite easily...take folic acid as soon as you start trying

no 2 I'm not sure as i've not reached that stage yet...i would think as soon as you find out you're pregnant you should phone the docs and see what they say.

no 3 I have no idea about this sorry.

no 4 a couple of small drinks would be ok i think, but i wouldn't have anymore than that, and not too often. I certainly wouldn't get drunk if i were you.

no 5 don't know much about the effects of smoking other than it supposed to be bad for the babe. goodluck with trying to quit.

as for your final question biologically/scientifically you can only get pregnant if you have sex around the time you are ovulating (well up to 5 days before apparently) so i can't see how you would get pregnant more easily during AF unless you happened to ovulate while it was still going on. although i'm sure there are probably instances where people have become pregnant by baby-making as you put it during AF.

Hope that helps and Goodluck

No 1 - As Chelliboo said

No 2 - Its a good idea to make you booking in appointment with the midwife as soon as possible, just phone your surgery and ask for an appointment to book in a pregnancy.

No 3 - Some products might not be advisable while pregnant due to possibly inhaling them but im not entirely sure which ones, best to ask your midwife when you book in

No 4 - As Chelliboo said

No 5 - I have this problem as well, smoking is a definite no no while pregnant as it can cause low birth weight, respitory problems in the baby such as bronchialitis or asthma - as a rule of thumb anything you take in is transfered to the baby through your blood supply so if its bad for you its bad for baby too, so try and quit while trying - easier said then done as I know only too well

Hope that helps xxx
