The List

  • Tobacco, smoking, vaping, and e-cigarettes must all be avoided, as well as passive smoking. 
  •  Avoid drinking alcohol, while trying to conceive or after pregnancy, for the entirety of conception and gestational period, for the baby's health. This cannot be stressed enough.  
  •  Consume a well-balanced diet with all the greens and yellows.
  •  Boil your food before eating. Fresh salad needs to be washed and cleaned before consumption.
  •  Be active, actually make an effort to move around every day.
  •  Blood pressure and diabetes must be checked and maintained.
  •  Lose weight before conceiving, so that overall weight after pregnancy does not affect your health.
  •  If you are underweight on the other hand, try to gain weight to reach an optimum level.
  •  Reduce stress, listen to soothing music, watch feel-good movies and practice free hand gentle exercises.
  •  Lead a life free of violence, make friends, and smile often.
