For women who intend to have children, it is generally recommended to prepare one year in advance, including physical examination, improving eating habits and quitting smoking and drinking.

Before pregnancy to the first 3 months of pregnancy, if women can take at least 400 micrograms of folic acid supplements per day, it will reduce the chance of the fetus suffering from neural tube defects (congenital brain or spine development abnormalities).

Those who are underweight have a higher chance of giving birth prematurely and underweight babies; those who are overweight or obese are more likely to have complications such as pregnancy toxemia, high blood pressure, and gestational diabetes. Therefore, the latter should control their weight before preparing for pregnancy. Lose weight through diet adjustment and increased exercise.<\/p>\n
In addition, a regular life and regular exercise can not only improve health, but also can make people relax and reduce stress, which is conducive to pregnancy. Women should reduce staying up late if not necessary. As for women who have smoking habits, they should quit smoking as soon as possible, and stay away from second-hand smoke from family members; when having a good time with friends, they should also drink less.
