How early can I take a pregnancy test?
Most home tests are accurate from the first day of a missed period; some sensitive tests a few days earlier.
What should I avoid in pregnancy?
Alcohol, smoking, certain foods (like unpasteurised cheese and high-mercury fish), and some medications — check with your provider.
