Pregnant: Healthy and Happy
Pregnant: Healthy and Happy

If you’re pregnant, or planning to become pregnant, this website may help you stay healthy until your baby arrives. Learn about prenatal preparation, pregnancy do's and don'ts, eating and exercise, getting ready for birth and how to get support when you need it.

The information on this site is selected from the B.C. Government publications, Baby’s Best Chance: Parents’ Guide to Pregnancy and Baby Care and Toddler’s First Steps: A Best Chance Guide to Parenting Your Six-Month to Three-Year-Old .  For more comprehensive information on any of the topics on this site, please refer to either of these two publications, or contact your doctor, midwife, or public health nurse.

Eating and Exercise
Looking after your body during pregnancy is very important. What you eat and drink has a direct effect on your baby, so you must pay attention to your diet. Regular exercise will keep you feeling good, and may even help with childbirth.
