Ideally, prenatal care should begin as soon as you know you're pregnant or even before conception. Early prenatal care allows healthcare providers to monitor the health of both the mother and the developing foetus.

Prenatal vitamins, usually containing folic acid, iron, calcium, and other essential nutrients, are recommended to support the increased nutritional needs during pregnancy. Consult with your healthcare provider to determine the specific prenatal vitamin and dosage that suits your needs.

A prenatal care plan typically involves maintaining a balanced diet, staying physically active (as advised by your healthcare provider), attending regular checkups, avoiding harmful substances such as tobacco and alcohol, and managing stress.
