Your health in the early weeks of your pregnancy is particularly important for your baby's health. Take good care of yourself. Anything you do that harms your body can also harm your baby.
Make sure to go to all of your appointments. Regular checkups will help keep you and your baby healthy.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor or nurse advice line (811 in most provinces and territories) if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.
