The weeks before you conceive can be every bit as important for a healthy pregnancy as the nine months you’ll be carrying your baby. Now is the time to get as fit and healthy as you can so you can start off your pregnancy on the right foot. Kick any bad habits like smoking, cut down on your alcohol intake, get plenty of exercise and, of course, eat a healthy, well balanced diet.
Ideally, you don't want to be underweight or overweight at this time because that may affect how much weight you gain during your pregnancy. For more information on planning a pregnancy, speak to your GP or health visitor, or contact your local health promotion unit.
