Preventing Miscarriage

Before you start to plan your next pregnancy consider the following regarding your health:

Is your diet ready to support another pregnancy?
Are there habits you should change prior to another pregnancy?
What medications are you taking and will they affect a pregnancy?
How is your health?
Are there issues you should resolve before trying another pregnancy?
Seek help to learn about your risks and what you can do to minimize them.
