Preparing for Conception: What to Know Before Trying to Get Pregnant

Question
I am trying to get pregnant. I was wondering if there is anything I should be doing before I conceive. A friend of mine told me that you are supposed to act like you are already pregnant before you get pregnant. I have never been pregnant so i'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure what the early warning signs of pregnancy are. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Answer
Amber,
I am not entirely sure what you are asking. I don't understand what "acting like you are pregnant" means. It is a good idea, to start taking prenatal vitamins or at least folic acid before pregnancy. You should be limiting your alcohol aa well. Other than that, I think you can "act" pretty normal.
Early warning signs of pregnancy are very tricky, because they are very similar to pre-menstrual signs too. Tender breasts, nausea, a bloated feeling are a few. I hope this helps! Good luck!
