For your future baby it matters that you are in good shape both before and throughout your pregnancy. That is why we advise you to watch your lifestyle from the moment you want to become pregnant: stop smoking, drink no alcohol and use no drugs (soft or hard). From that same moment, take folic acid as well.
What else matters
- a varied diet
- drinking enough
- enough sleep
- enough exercise
- a healthy body weight
What you are better off eating and avoiding during pregnancy, and what else to watch, is on food and lifestyle.
