I want to get pregnant in a year, what should I be doing now?!

I want to get pregnant in a year, what should I be doing now?

My husband and I have recently decided that we want to try to conceive next summer (summer 2008). I am trying to be more healthy to prepare myself, for instance, I started taking a multi-vitamin every day and have tried to eat more well-balanced meals. I heard that women who want to get pregnant should take folic acid, so should I take that in addition to my multi-vitamin or is the multi alone enough? Is there anything else I can start doing now (or stop doing) to prepare my body for trying to conceive and getting pregnant? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Sounds like you're on the right track. I don't think you need to take folic acid yet. A multi vitamin should be enough. Talk to you Dr. They'll probably want to make sure you're up to date on all your shots and other things. Sounds like you're on the right track. Have your husband wear boxers. Not tighty whities.
