What needs to be added to life before making such an important decision, and what should be immediately abandoned?
The expectant mother should set clear goals for herself and try to change her lifestyle.
- The first thing that needs to be erased from your life is drugs, even the easiest ones, because they will not be such for a child.

- Protect yourself from stress and adverse factors, get tested at the hospital.
Do not forget - everything that is done at the stage of planning a pregnancy affects its course, childbirth and the health of the baby as a whole.
