The best time to begin eating a healthy diet is before you become pregnant. This will help you and your baby start out with the nutrients you both need.
If you are planning to become pregnant, visit your doctor. Getting good health care before you are pregnant will help you throughout your pregnancy. As part of your visit, you will be asked about your family life, work, and lifestyle, including your diet.
