A healthy diet
If you haven’t done, you start a diet
beneficial to your health. You should add much protein, calcium, iron and
carbohydrates in your diet. You should consume an extra 200 to 300 calories per
day to ensure your child is getting the proper nutrition. Instead of drinking
caffeinated beverages, drink water and make sure you are properly hydrated.
Prenatal classes
Sign up for prenatal classes. They may include
classes on child safety, breastfeeding, birth preparation, and newborn care. In
these classes, you will be provided with important information about pregnancy
and childbirth. If you do not understand something, experts will answer your
questions. Do not hesitate to take your other half to classes.

Caution
Pregnant women should not do many things that
they may have to do before they are pregnant. While most women know they should
not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol, you may not be aware of other hazards.
You should be careful about making your body too hot. Do not be out for long
time in the hot temperature and avoid taking hot baths. You should not be
around animals because they can carry germs, such as salmonella. Before taking
any medication, you’d better ask your doctor to make sure it's safe for your
baby.

give you energy. However, you should not overexert. Some exercises such as
