Making healthy choices before pregnancy can benefit both you and your future baby. Since 1 in 3 women get pregnant within a month of stopping contraception, there are things you can do to prepare in advance.

- everything you need to know about getting pregnant
- fertility and infertility
- being ready for pregnancy

There's also help and advice from the NHS, including what supplements to take, vaccinations, medicines and stopping smoking. You can improve your chances of getting pregnant and having a healthy pregnancy by following the steps on the NHS page - Planning your pregnancy.
