Palo Alto Medical Foundation provides a helpful list of tips to prepare women for the physical demands of pregnancy.
Women can take many precautions to promote a health pregnancy before they become pregnant.
* Stop smoking to reduce the risk of a low birth weight baby, a miscarriage or a stillbirth.
* Talk to your doctor about how prescription medications may affect your pregnancy.
Some of these medications include the birth control pill, Accutane, and seizure and cancer medications.
* Take a multivitamin with at least 400 micrograms of folic acid each day.
* Maintain good health by eating healthy, exercising and maintaining a healthy weight.
