Reaching a healthy body weight before you become pregnant is a great idea. Being too light or too heavy can affect your chances of becoming pregnant, so it is important to make sure you’re eating a wide range of healthy foods including fruit, vegetables, wholegrain cereals and breads, low fat dairy foods and lean meat and fish.
 
Cut back on the sweet treats as they can add extra pounds but don’t have much nutritionally to offer. Being overweight while you are pregnant can increase your risk of high blood pressure or even developing diabetes during pregnancy.
 
Now is the time to get in shape. Regular exercise will help too, get out with your partner for some long walks while you discuss your plans for the future. If you both embark on a new healthy eating and exercise plan together it will be easier to stay on track. 
 
It will be worth it, now is a great time to establish healthy lifestyle habits which you can pass onto your new baby when he or she arrives.
