When should I talk with my doctor about pregnancy?

You can talk with your doctor about pregnancy at any time, even before you're thinking about getting pregnant. You can talk about your diet, habits, lifestyle and any concerns you have. Plan on visiting your doctor within a year before you want to get pregnant. At that time, you may be given a physical check-up. You and the father-to-be will probably be asked about your medical history. You'll also both have the chance to ask your doctor questions.
