A Healthy Pregnancy


Preparation for Pregnancy

A mother brings to her pregnancy all of her previous life experiences---including diet, food habits, and attitudes.

Birth defects occur before the 10th week of pregnancy.

The outcome of her baby’s health depends on the mother’s nutritional state.

A woman should prepare her body 2 years ahead. If nutrients are lacking, the mother suffers first and

then the baby suffers.
