before i begin lemme say congrats! okay well i think that you should eat a little more then usually since your eating for two people. and stay away from junkfood, smoking (if you do), and stuff like that. have fun with your little bundle of joy!

It is very important to eat fruits and vegetables. You also want to make sure you get prenatal pills right away. You can buy them at Wal Mart. Or a Doctor will perscribe them. Stay away from junk food. Lots and lots of water. Definately avoid alcohal,ciggarettes, drugs.

First off, be sure to go see an OB/GYN! They will be able to help you more than anyone else. If you don't have money/insurance, go to your local health department and see the OB/GYN there. They should charge you on a sliding fee scale, and if you don't work, it should be free for you.
Otherwise, avoid alcohol, caffine, and nicotine. You might want to cut back on sugar if you have a lot in your diet. Just think healthy, and cut out junk food as much as you can.
Go to www.mypyramid.gov to get and try following the new food pyramid, unless your doctor gives you a specific diet.
Good luck!

No smoking, alchoal, spicy foods, try to lay off a lot and lot of sugars, not too much caffine, I bet people before me have already said all this so I'll just stop there. XD
Good luck with the test! ^_^

First, the obvious stuff: if you smoke (ANYTHING), stop. If you drink alcohol, stop. Stop taking ANY prescription medication until you've checked with your doctor or OB/GYN to make sure that it's safe. You should even avoid over-the-counter medications, because some of them could have a bad effect on your baby - if you're pregnant, that is.
Stop drinking caffeine (you can switch to decaffeinated drinks, although even those have a *little* bit of caffeine and should be avoided). Make sure to drink plenty of water. Eat the most healthy diet that you can - that means fruits, vegetables, and plenty of protein. Make sure to get plenty of calcium too.
Take the most powerful multivitamins that you can find, until you see your OB/GYN and get a prescription for prenatal vitamins.
Of course, all of this assumes that you're pregnant.
If the home test says that you're NOT pregnant, you should still see your OB/GYN. Home tests are remarkably accurate if used correctly, but there is always the chance of a mistake, however small. And if your period has stopped for some other reason, you need to know why - it could be serious.
I probably don't need to tell you this, but if it turns out that you're not pregnant, and you don't want to BECOME pregnant soon, make sure to practice safe sex. Your OB/GYN can help you with birth-control options.

PS - I later spoke to my wife, who naturally knows more about pregnancy (well, SOME aspects of pregnancy) than I do. She pointed out two things: One, that you should call your doctor IMMEDIATELY if you are taking prescription drugs, because obviously you shouldn't stop taking a drug if you need it to stay alive or sane. Two, apparently prenatal vitamins are available over-the-counter. They're not cheap, though, so you should certainly take the home pregnancy test first.
Best of luck!

If you think your pregnant, you should try to eat more. I'm not trying to tell you to eat and get fat. No, no, no. But all I'm saying is definitely take the test, and until you get the results, keep eating, just so if you are, you can nurish your baby. Good Luck =)
