Pregnancy lifestyle choices
Lifestyle can have a big influence on your pregnancy. During pregnancy, illness can have an adverse effect on you and your unborn baby and becoming ill may impact your unborn baby’s growth and development. Positive lifestyle choices can reduce the risk to your health, and the health of your unborn baby. Many lifestyle factors can have a positive impact on your emotional and physical wellbeing. Avoiding drugs and alcohol, exercising, and following a healthy diet helps you and your future baby stay healthy. Your diet can affect the health of the baby and can also influence a baby’s health into adulthood.
