I give you 5 tips to put you on the right path to hopefully have a healthy and fun pregnancy.


     1.  Make activity a part of your day.

Working out during pregnancy is much easier if you started before you get pregnant. Find exercises 

that you enjoy and do them often, even if it was as simple as walking several times a week as long as you stick to it.

     2. Eat healthier.

 Start making better choices, ditch the bad eating habits. You'll start to see the difference in energy levels and the other benefits of eating clean. When you crave sweets when you're pregnant you'll know the better choices you have instead of reaching for those cookies.

     3. Clean up your act.

Clear out all those unhealthy habits:
- Toss the cigarette and quit smoking.
- Lay off the alcohol.
- Avoid high mercury fish.
- Watch your beauty products and search for chemicals to avoid.

    4. Talk to your doctor.

Talk to your health care providers about your plans to conceive, it's a good idea to keep them informed because they may have additional helpful sources for you.
