Once a woman has decided she would like to conceive, she should consider all of the following lifestyle changes EXCEPT:
  1. Determining what to do about hormonal birth control
  2. Beginning to take a dietary supplement containing folic acid
  3. Cutting down on her exercise routine
  4. Pursuing smoking cessation
Explanation
Answer: C - Continuing her normal exercise routine, or adding exercise to her day if she is sedentary, is a great way to feel good and stay healthy during pregnancy. If she was using hormonal birth control, a woman should check with her healthcare provider as soon as she suspects she is pregnant. When she begins to think about conceiving, a woman should start a daily multivitamin containing at least 400 mcg folic acid. If she smokes, she should find support to help her quit, as smoking has been linked to low birth-weight, prematurity, and sudden infant death syndrome.
