Taking care of yourself before and during your pregnancy helps you have a healthy pregnancy and lowers your chances of having a baby born with a birth defect. If you are pregnant or think you might be pregnant, it is important to contact your healthcare provider right away. He or she will help you determine the best prenatal care for your situation. Some possible tips include eating a diet rich in folic acid, iron, and calcium; staying as active as possible; and avoiding drugs, alcohol, and smoking.
