Thinking about your next baby?

Sooner or later you may decided to wish to have another baby.  It is important to think about your overall general health and health of your partner to increase chances of getting pregnant.  A poor diet, smoking, drinking alcohol can affect the quality of sperm and your chances of conceiving.

When planning another pregnancy it is important that you take folic acid from the time you start trying to conceive up until 12 weeks pregnant.  It is also important to eat foods that contain folic acid as well.  Ask your GP for advice.
