#1 preconception prep is about getting your body and your partner’s body into tip-top baby-making shape. It’s about the drinks you and your partner sip, the medications you take, and the habits you kick.

#2 Your overall health has a lot to do with your overall fertility. Make sure you and your partner are healthy overall, from the medications you take to the immunizations you should have to the chronic conditions that need controlling.

#3 The best prenatal care starts long before you get pregnant. Make sure you’re healthy by having a complete pre-prenatal checkup with your gynecologist, dentist, and other health care providers.

#4 There are risks to fertility, as well as risks for a pregnancy if a mother’s chronic condition isn’t well controlled. But those risks can be minimized or even eliminated by bringing the condition under control before sperm meets egg.
