Here are the most important things to do before you start trying to get pregnant. First, start a prenatal vitamin or folic acid at least a month prior to trying. Second, have a preconception visit with your OB-GYN. They can review your history, go for your medications, and identify any issues or risk factors where you might need to see a specialist prior to trying to conceive. And consider genetic carrier screening. This is a simple blood test or saliva test that will inform you about the risk of conceiving a baby with a serious genetic disease. Finally, prioritize your health. Make sure you get lots of sleep, make healthy food choices, continue or start an exercise regimen. This is a great opportunity to identify areas to optimize your health prior to welcoming a baby into your life.
