Your lifestyle covers a range of behaviours and practices in your daily life – many of which you may take for granted and not give a second thought to. It is important to pause and look at the areas of your life that need to be changed.
Eating healthily, maintaining the right body weight, and exercising regularly will help you keep in good health for conception, and reduce problems for you and your baby during pregnancy. What you should and should not eat is so important that I will explain it in an entirely separate article, which will form the second part of this series.
Linked to good nutrition is your body weight, which you need to monitor before and during pregnancy. If you’re underweight or overweight before you conceive, try to get to a healthier weight – which not only makes it easier for you to conceive, but also reduces stress on your body during pregnancy and lowers the risk of problems like high blood pressure or high glucose.
What other habits would you need to discard or change? Smoking, drinking alcohol and taking drugs can cause problems for the baby in the womb, and after it is born. Smoking can cause miscarriage, bleeding, premature birth, low birth weight, as well as slower physical and intellectual development.
Alcohol can cause foetal alcohol syndrome, which contributes to birth defects, including mental problems, slow growth and physical defects. Abuse of illegal drugs like marijuana and cocaine is not only risky for the mother, but also causes harm to the baby, such as miscarriage, premature birth, or even addiction to the child when he or she is born.
There are no shortcuts to this – you have to stop smoking, stop drinking alcohol, and be drug-free if you want to get pregnant. This will have to go on during pregnancy and during the breastfeeding period as well.
Hypertension can interfere with the growth of the unborn baby and increase the risk of foetal death, as well as preeclampsia. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to miscarriage or birth defects. To keep these conditions well under control throughout pregnancy, your doctor should switch you over to safer medications before you conceive. For instance, oral diabetes medications should be replaced with insulin instead.
While all the precautionary measures described above may sound insurmountable, it is a small price to pay for the health of your baby. Sometimes, all it takes are some small changes in your lifestyle or environment – it’s not too much to ask of anyone.

I have been to different doctors for years but nobody figured out what was wrong with me. I heard a lot about Dr PrimaNora from friends and decided to try. I’m very happy that I did it. She is a great doctor, very educated and helpful. I can see a big difference in me since I’ve seen her. She diagnoses correctly and gives you the right medication and also advises about your lifestyle. She is not only an amazing doctor but a very sympathetic human being too. God bless her.
After my first child, I have been fighting with my weight whilst in most instances that I managed to lose weight; it was never sustainable at a longer duration. Thus in 2018, I visited PrimaNora in order to find out the root cause of my body system especially in relation to hormones. It was confirmed from the first diagnosis the state of my health. It was a journey of transformation with my diet change, hormone and supplementary regime which I strictly followed, complete with the physical exercises that I do without fail. I finally managed to be healthy and fit person with a reduction of 60kg within 1 year and maintained a consistent small size of clothes UK8 form UK22 from January 2018. I continue to see Datuk Dr. Nora to ensure that my hormones are at optimum level and my health at its level best.
