Lifestyle affects our health. Good health, for both men and women, contributes to good pregnancy outcomes. These tips will increase your likelihood of good health whether or not you’re planning a pregnancy.
· Be tobacco-free. Stop smoking before you stop using birth control. Smoking during pregnancy increases risks of a miscarriage, stillbirth or infant death.
· Do not drink alcohol if you are pregnant or want to become pregnant. Alcohol can harm an unborn baby even before a woman knows she’s pregnant.
· Become active for at least 30 minutes on most, if not all, days of the week.
· Get tested for HIV and other STDs. STDs pose special risks for pregnant women and their babies.
· Stop using all street drugs before you stop using birth control. When pregnant, anything you eat, drink or smoke affects you and your baby.
