Hi, thanks for writing..
Take folic acid for 3 months prior to conception.. This prevents nueral tube defect.. If you are not immunised against rubella and chickenpox get vaccination done. Avoid pregnancy for next 3 months after the vaccination.. Any infection should be treated prior to pregnancy.. Take lots of fruits, green leafy vegetables and lots of water.. Hope I have answered your query.. Good day..
