Prepare Your Body. Plan Your Path.
Make Healthy Lifestyle Choices
Before trying to conceive, invest in your wellness by making healthy lifestyle choices. This could be maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, getting regular exercise and eating nutritious foods. Be Well Baby offers free support to help pregnant mothers stop using tobacco.
Address Health Conditions
Many common health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, PCOS or endometriosis can affect a future pregnancy or even your ability to get pregnant. Work with a healthcare provider to make sure any health condition you have is being managed in a way that could support a pregnancy.
Schedule a Preconception Checkup
Your Arkansas Health Unit can help you learn how to prepare your body for pregnancy and get you connected to the support you need as early as possible. During this preconception checkup appointment, the provider will screen you for potential issues, help you address health concerns and answer questions you have.
