    Take Action
    Being vigilant about your health when pregnant is essential to both your own and your baby’s wellbeing:

  • Follow your doctor’s instruction and follow the appointment schedule he or she gives you. At the same time, don’t be afraid to ask questions and voice concerns.
  • Eat healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Stay physically active. Work out a plan with your obstetrician.
  • Take prenatal vitamins.

    Becoming a parent is one of the most exciting times in life. Prepare by reading some parenting books, getting advice from friends and family, and buying essentials like a crib, car seat, and diapers ahead of time.

  • Use gentle, tear- and dye-free cleansers and lotions on your baby.
  • Try to sleep when your baby sleeps – it is the easiest way to get rest.
  • Don’t be afraid to call the pediatrician if something concerns you, and take your baby in for regular check-ups and vaccinations.
