The physical health of the mom and dad before pregnancy affect the health of their future baby. When my hubby and I decided that we will have a baby, we thought it will be good to do some pre-planning so that our baby is healthy, strong and smart.
A baby’s organs begin to form in the first four weeks of pregnancy, before many women even know they are pregnant. So we did the following
• Got a pre-pregnancy checkup, including a dental checkup.
• Started eating healthy food, maintaining a healthy body by swimming, doing aerobics etc.
• No smoking and avoiding secondhand smoke.
• No alcohol.
• Avoided infections because some can harm a fetus.
• Avoided hazardous substances and chemicals.
• Talked to the health care provider about our family history, genetics and birth defects.
• Tried to maintain a cool and calm life free from stress.
