Attempting Pregnancy

I'm thinking about attempting pregnancy. What do I need to do to prepare for pregnancy?

You should see your doctor in order to review your medical history, family history, medication list, and do a physical examination.

You should check to see if you are immune to German measles and chicken pox. You will need to decide if you want to get tested for cystic fibrosis or other genetic testing/counseling.

You should start taking prenatal vitamins at least one month prior to conception. If you cannot take prenatal vitamins, take folic acid (at least 400 micrograms daily).
