pregnancy planning

Pregnancy planning involves preparing the body and mind for conception to increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy. This includes scheduling a preconception check-up, adopting a balanced diet, managing health conditions, taking prenatal vitamins (especially folic acid), and tracking ovulation to identify fertile days. Quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, and avoiding harmful substances are also important. Ensuring up-to-date vaccinations and discussing any medications with a healthcare provider further support healthy conception. Proper planning helps optimize health for both partners and can reduce potential risks during pregnancy.
