Family Planning Plus

It would be best to wait until after you are healthy again. Some antibiotics are harmful during pregnancy. You should also:

• quit smoking (if you smoke) and avoid second hand smoke.
• start taking an over-the-counter pre-natal vitamin that includes 400 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid
• stop drinking alcohol.
• eat a balanced diet and aim for a healthy weight. (Some women should gain weight before attempting pregnancy while others might benefit from losing weight before becoming pregnant.)
• schedule a pre-pregnancy appointment with your doctor to make sure you are healthy.

Best of luck!
