How can I prepare for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby?

A little Southern Comfort asked:


Could someone please kindly help me?
Im 25 years old and Caucasion. My husband is 27 and Latino. Are there more risks with having a baby if it is ***********?
Also how can I prepare for pregnancy? I am so scared that I am not oging ot have a healthy child. I used to work in the health cre field and you see so much wrong. I just want to do everything possible to help have a healthy child and a healthy pregnancy. Any tips or advice? We plan to start trying maybe this December. Thanks! I am so grateful for all your answers!

    Take a decent pregnancy vitamin/mineral inc Folic Acid

    Don’t drink too much

    Try to eat a healthy diet including fresh fruit ‘n’ veg

    Have *** about 7 days after your period has finished.

    to answer your first question NO!! I am and Bi racial woman (Afro-American and Caucasian) My husband is Hispanic and we have 4 children together. No certain health risks. Make sure you eat well and drink plenty of fluids. Pre natal care is very important. Good luck conceiving!!

    Start taking prenatal vitamins, no smoking, no getting drunk, exercise, and keep a healthy diet.

    I dont think *********** babys have any problems. But be sure to talk to your doctor if there are any hereditary diseases in either one of your families.

    Good luck and Baby dust!! I hope you get your miracle soon!!

    There are no more risks based upon *********** children. My suggestions? If you are on the pill you should go off it now and use other forms of birthcontrol until you are ready to conceive. Go ahead and start taking prenatal vitamins and a folic acid supplment. If you don’t eat healthy START. You should also get plenty of exercise, walking is great especially when you are pregnant so start now if you don’t already. If you smoke, stop now. If your husband smokes ask him to quit. Make your home a no smoking zone to everyone who comes over. Nothing wrong with having a drink now and again, but limited and once you are pregnant NEVER!

    Once the child arrives, if you can breastfeed him/her, you will never regret it!

    Now, stop stressing about it. A great source for child development is Dr. Sears. I’d recommend purchasing his books. Also, take your concerns to your OB/GYN and start shopping for a good pediatrician.
