Optimizing Your Health for a Healthy Pregnancy: A Comprehensive Guide

Question
Hi,

My husband and I have decided we are ready to try and have a baby. I am just wondering. How can I best prepare myself for a best possible pregnancy? I have been eating healthy and have been exercising regularly for the last few months. What other things should I be doing?

Answer
You are off to the right start.  But you should make sure you are up to date on your yearly pap smear and pelvic exam.
You should be taking a pre-natal vitamin or at least be taking folic acid to help prevent birth defects.
Finally, NO SMOKING OR DRINKING!
Good luck to you and feel free to ask as many questions as you have.
