PREGNANCY PLAN & CARE
Healthy mothers have healthy babies. If you plan a pregnancy and want to get it off to a good start:
- Have a complete medical check – up before you get pregnant.
- Talk to your doctor about your medications.
- When you decide to have a baby, stop talking birth control pills three months before you plan to get pregnant.
- Maintain a normal weight, lose excess pounds before the pregnancy.
- Maintain a nutrition diet.
- Avoid caffeine, alcohol and nicotine.
- Relax and avoid stress.
- Take childbirth preparation classes and encourage your husband to take them with you.
- Discuss your views on child-rearing with your husband: you may find that you have very differing views which need to be talked about before the baby arrives.
