Before you are pregnant
Planning a Pregnancy
There are things you can do before you get pregnant that can make a difference to your health and the health of your future baby. Around 1 in 3 women and birthing people get pregnant within a month of stopping contraception, so it's best to be prepared for pregnancy before you stop contraception.
If you are are planning a pregnancy Tommy’s has a useful tool you can use. It will tell you all you need to know about how to improve the health of your future pregnancy and baby.

Are you pregnant?
Whether planned or unplanned, pregnancy can bring on a range of emotions for you, your partner and your family.
Local Maternity and Neonatal Systems (LMNS) have been set up nationally in response to NHS England’s ‘Better Births’ report which sets out a vision for safer, more personalised maternity care that reflects women’s choices and offers continuing joined-up care.
