How To Have A Healthy Baby

There are two main stages to consider for having a healthy baby: preconception and pregnancy. Here's a breakdown of what you can do in each stage:

1- Preconception:

• See a doctor: A preconception checkup can identify any potential health concerns that could impact pregnancy.
• Start folic acid: Taking folic acid at least a month before conception can help prevent birth defects. https:
• Maintain a healthy weight: Being overweight or underweight can increase pregnancy risks.
• Adopt healthy habits: Quit smoking, limit alcohol, and avoid drugs.

2- Pregnancy:

• Prenatal care: Regular doctor visits allow for monitoring your health and your baby's development.
• Healthy diet: Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to get the nutrients you and your baby need.
• Prenatal vitamins: Your doctor may recommend a prenatal vitamin to supplement your diet.
• Exercise: Regular exercise is beneficial for both you and your baby, but be sure to consult your doctor about an appropriate routine.
