Pregnancy Precautions (for Parents)

Pregnancy Precautions: If you just learned that you are pregnant, your elation may be tempered by some anxiety. Should the cup of coffee from yesterday or the glass of wine from supper last weekend raise any questions?

What Else Should I Know?

While some things are unsafe during pregnancy, try not to worry too much. Trust your common sense — if it doesn’t need to be done right now or might be risky, hold off and talk to your doctor about it. They can tell you about the possible risks and might even give the OK for something you didn’t think you could do until after your baby’s birth.

Remember, taking good care of yourself is the best way to keep you and your baby healthy.
