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 keep an eye on your lifestyle from the moment you want to become pregnant. The advice is to stop smoking, to stop drinking alcohol and to use no drugs (soft or hard) as soon as you start trying. It is also sensible to take folic acid from that same moment.
What matters
- a varied diet
- drinking enough
- enough sleep
- enough exercise
- a healthy body weight
- no smoking, no alcohol, no drugs
