Worries and pregnancy seem to go hand in hand. Fortunately, however, most women of childbearing age are healthy and most pregnancies are considered "low-risk." For most women, the surest way to have a healthy baby is to live a healthy lifestyle. The March of Dimes suggests the following precautions:

• Get early prenatal care, even before you're pregnant.


• Eat a well-balanced diet, including a vitamin supplement that contains folic acid.


• Exercise regularly with your doctor's permission.


• Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, and illicit drugs, and limit caffeine.


• Avoid x-rays, hot tubs, and saunas.


• Avoid infections.

According to the March of Dimes, a pregnant woman should increase her daily food portions to include:

• 6 to 11 servings of breads and other whole grains


• 3 to 5 servings of vegetables


• 2 to 4 servings of fruits


• 4 to 6 servings of milk and milk products


• 3 to 4 servings of meat and protein foods


• 6 to 8 glasses of water, and no more than one soft drink or cup of coffee per day to limit caffeine.
