- See your doctor for a periconception visit and get your partner tested too.
- Eat well and take your vitamin and folic acid supplement well before conception. Improve his health too!
- Review all medication you take with your doctor including those that are over-the-counter and those that are prescribed.
- Stop Smoking and drinking and go easy on the coffee.
Be at your optimal weight and exercise. - Relax, relax, relax.
- See your dentist for a checkup and cleaning.
- Check your health insurance coverage, review your options for leave at work and make a pregnancy and baby budget.
