Start Taking a Prenatal Vitamin
Research suggests that a prenatal vitamin containing folic acid taken just six months prior to conception can be beneficial for a soon-to-be growing baby.
If possible, consider getting yourself in optimal physical shape so you can create the healthiest environment for your baby. Remember, that by following PAK’s proactive forty-week gestational guidelines, an expectant mom will never walk into a doctor’s office in the same way again!
