Medical background
Pregnancy is a natural occurrence but also a significant change for your body. Your body must adjust to the baby's growth and the extra hormones. When you are pregnant, it is essential to see your doctor or midwife regularly for check-ups. The doctor or midwife can help you monitor your health and prevent or treat any problems.

Lifestyle
You can do several things to keep your body in good shape for pregnancy. These things are:

• Eat healthy. Ensure you get enough fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

• Exercise regularly. Try to exercise at least 30 minutes a day at a high intensity.

• Quit smoking and drinking alcohol. Smoking and alcohol can harm your baby.

• Limit your caffeine intake. Caffeine can make your baby irritable.

You can get folic acid, vitamin D, and iron through your diet. You can also take these nutrients as a supplement. You can get calcium through your diet and dairy products, green leafy vegetables, and nuts.
