Take folate (folic acid) .4 mg/: Day for at keast 3 months before conceiving. Don't drink alcohol, smoke tobacco or use illicit drugs. Check with your dr. About your prescription & otc meds.Maintain a good wt. For your height. Discuss child-rearing & discipline with your spouse & ask older generations about family history of medical & mental health disorders. "what to expect when you're expecting" is a pretty good book.
