Taking good care of yourself when you're expecting is a no-brainer, but the state of your health before you've got a baby on board matters, too—especially since you could be pregnant for weeks before you see that pink plus sign on a pregnancy test. Eating right, maintaining a healthy weight and getting enough folic acid even just a few months before conceiving can actually help prevent certain birth defects. And since a fetus is most vulnerable in the first trimester, it's never too early to give your baby-to-be the best possible start. Talk to your doctor about your family plans now... and kudos to you for thinking ahead.
Get Pregnant Faster Tip
Want to make a baby ASAP? Then it's last call for alcohol. Research suggests that even a few drinks a week may affect your fertility, and the more you imbibe, the greater the risk. To increase your chances for a speedy conception, you and your partner—drinking may affect his fertility too—should give up booze as soon as possible. (Three months before you start trying is ideal.)
