Preparing for pregnancy

When you are preparing to have a baby it's a good time to make some steps towards improving your health.

The chances of getting pregnant are greater if you are healthy and happy. Being healthy will also help your baby get the best start in life when they arrive.

Talk to your GP about what vitamins and supplements are good to take when planning to have a baby.

Now is also a good time to look at your finances and make plans for the future. If you choose to return to work after the baby is born, you may need to look at childcare and the costs.
