Hello,

As a part of preconception care, it is advisable to take Folic acid, Vitamin B12 and Omega 3 fatty acids supplements, regularly at least 3 months before you plan to get pregnant. This helps to prevent various complications during conception, pregnancy and childbirth.

Please opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. Include more portions of fruits and vegetables and salads in daily diet. Drink plenty of water in the day.

Avoid refined sugars and deep fried foods and bakery products in the diet. Meditate regularly and think positive.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purushottam Neurgaonkar
