About this episode

 Welcome back! On today's episode, we're starting a series all about "you're pregnant, now what?" Yay. First of all, congratulations, if you are listening to this and you just found out that you are pregnant. It's both incredibly scary, incredibly exciting, and we are here for you. We know it's like a big wave of emotions when this happens after you've waited so long for this moment. 

This episode dives into everything from the first thing that we do at Markham Fertility Centre, which is to confirm your pregnancy test with blood work to which vitamins to take to diet. Stay tuned for more on this series to come in the future!
