Just a few small changes during your pregnancy can improve your and your baby's health. Here is the list of things you can do to make the pregnancy even better.

• Take an active part in your pregnancy health care: it is important to choose a provider that fits your ideal philosophy of care. Personality and communication are key ingredients to a healthy pregnancy and a great relationship.
• Schedule regular prenatal visits: checking in regularly with your healthcare provider will help to avoid problems and complications during pregnancy.
• Start folic acid early: folic acid significantly reduces your baby's risk for spinal bifida. You can start taking this supplement already when you think of having a baby.
• Take prenatal vitamins: these specially formulated multivitamins will help you make up deficiencies in your diet.
• Talk to your practitioner about pre-existing conditions and family history: these conditions include diabetes, herpes (and other STDs), epilepsy, heart problems, and high blood pressure.
• Test Immunity to rubella: if you're not immune, try to avoid contact with anyone who has symptoms of German measles. After the baby is born, consider vaccinating so your next baby will be protected.
• Eat plenty of protein: the RDA for pregnant women is 75 grams. However, many practitioners suggest more as protein helps your baby develop and may protect against pregnancy complications and pre-term labor.
• Include healthy fats in your diet: fat and so-called “healthy” cholesteral are essential for baby's developing brain.
• Do regular exercises: they help to ease pregnancy discomforts and prepares your body for labor and motherhood.
• Do Kegel exercises: Kegel exercises can prevent or treat pregnancy incontinence. What is more, they will make labor easier as the muscles will be prepared for delivering a baby.
• Stay Positive: surround yourself with a positive environment. It will help you relax and enjoy your pregnancy better.
• Breathe clean air: Furniture, cleansers, carpets can give off toxins; that’s why it is necessary to spend much time outside. Airing your home just a few minutes a day is also necessary as it lowers the level of impurities significantly.
• Enjoy house plants: some house plants (spider plants, for example) are known to be good at removing formaldehyde and other common impurities.
• Take off your shoes: leave your shoes at the entry way in order to avoid tracking around whatever you've been walking through. It is also good for your feet, as during the pregnancy they can become larger in size, so it’s important to give them a rest.
• Take care when traveling: pregnant women can be particularly careful when travelling as it can make much stress for the baby.
