Call a clinic and tell them you think you might be preg. Its NOT normal but maybe where you are there is a shortage, in which case its better to get in early. Pre-natal vitamins are prescribed by your OB (once you get one) and is the best when you're preg. Keeping to your usual eating habits is perfectly fine. Avoid any strenuous acitivities, the miscarriage probability is highest during the 1st trimester. Your dr will let you know once you get closer to August if its ok for you to fly, most airlines require a dr's note if you're obviously pregnant, especially for long trips like that.
Hope this helps and remember, your body knows how to carry a baby, just trust yourself to make the right choices!

Tw!nz?

Doctors usually wont see you until your 8-10 weeks.. I had my first visit at like 9 weeks.. They wanted to see me at 10 weeks though.

You should go to a drugstore and get some prenatal vitamins, which helps keeps the placenta rich with nutrients for a good living environment for the baby. (Placenta is the fluid the baby is suspended in while it's in the womb. What comes out when your water breaks.)
I think the best thing to do would be to eat when you're hungry, stop when you're full. But since you're eating for two now, you should definitely eat more healthy stuff and avoid eating fish and red meats too frequently. It's okay to eat those foods, just not more than twice a week, as the mercury levels could be harmful to the baby.
You should avoid stressful situations if you can, both physically and emotionally, and don't have coffee. Alcohol and recreational drugs are obvious, but caffeine is also potentially harmful.
It should be safe to travel when you're pregnant but just be careful.
Hope I helped! =]
