Week one and two on your pregnancy daily calendar begins on the first day of your period. Technically you’re not even pregnant! However, this is when you start counting.

Take precautions by taking a prenatal vitamin that contains at least 0.4 mg of folic acid to help prevent neural tube defects such as spina bifida.

You should also stop taking any form of birth control, and avoid things such as alcohol, tobacco (including second hand smoke), x-rays and over-the-counter medications.
