Healthy body, baby: Early pregnancy is remarkable for the rate of growth of the fetus and the development of all the various body parts. It is vital to look at everything you ingest (including meds) to make sure none of it interferes with the baby's development. Healthy eating, daily low impact exercise and regular sleep will help your body stay healthy during your baby's development.
