A good start is to see your family doctor, and explain that you are trying to get pregnant (give an approximate time-scale). You can also contact the local family planning clinic who can give you advice on all aspects prior to you becoming pregnant. Alternatively, telephone the antenatal clinic at your local hospital and speak with a midwife who is trained to give advice before, during as well as after having a baby. There are also private organisations which specialise in preconception care and advice.
