Before you start trying, the basics that matter most are starting a folic acid supplement, confirming you're immune to rubella and chickenpox, and getting your thyroid and haemoglobin checked. Your weight and blood pressure are also worth reviewing now, since both affect how smoothly conception and early pregnancy go.
Next Steps
Book a preconception visit with your gynaecologist. They'll check your vaccination history, thyroid, haemoglobin and family history of diabetes. Start taking folic acid now and keep up a balanced diet with moderate exercise. Cut out alcohol and smoking if either applies.
Health Tips
Don't start any new medication or supplement on your own. Some aren't safe once you conceive, so check with your doctor first.
