Want to have a child: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is of paramount importance - not only you but also for your partner. Eating healthy and committing to exercise daily should ensure a healthy pregnancy. Supplements are overhyped and over-recommended. Taking a daily multivitamin can help.

Lifestyle change: You must prepare your body for pregnancy. Some european countries advocate detoxing your body from chemicals you can avoid, eliminate processed foods, if you can to consume organic milk and grass fed meats. Look up the " dirty dozen and the clean fifteen" for produce. Avoid pesticides and harsh cleaners in your home. Both vitamin deficiency and excess are known to cause birth defects.
