Hello, I'm 21 years old, me and my partner want to have a baby. However, we want to plan it carefully so that the baby is born he althy and strong and that I do not have any complications. I would like to ask you for advice, should I take any medications or hello before we start trying for a baby? I have never had any he alth problems, although several people told me that I should gain weight before trying for a child (I am 160 cm and weigh 45 kg). In my family, the women have always been so thin and never had any problems with their pregnancy.
You definitely need to take folic acid for about three months before getting pregnant.
