Pre-Pregnancy Tips

  • Have a pre-pregnancy exam, which can help you prepare for a healthy pregnancy.
  • Eat healthy. Nutrition is a vital part of preparing for pregnancy. Factors such as a woman's weight compared with her height play an important role in a mother's health.
  • Predict your cycle. When a person is attempting to have a baby, fertile times become an important factor.
