Healthy Lifestyles to Promote Fertility

Folic Acid

Your baby will benefit if you take folic acid supplements before you get pregnant and in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.

Diet, Weight and Exercise

Moderate physical activity is good for you, is usually safe, and does not harm your baby.

Smoking, Alcohol and Drugs

When you are thinking about getting pregnant, it is a good opportunity to make healthy lifestyle changes to put you in the best possible health to prepare for pregnancy.
