Editor’s Note Published by: Happy <strong>July</strong>, lovelies... And so half a year has gone by, just like that! In terms of fertility health though, did you know that half a year could make a huge difference in your chances of a healthy, thriving pregnancy? That’s right! Experts believe that women should start to look after their bodies at least six months before even getting pregnant. This includes daily intake of folic acid, quitting any bad habits, taking in a more nutritious diet, getting proper exercise, having an ideal body mass index, etc. In our issue this month, we also happen to cover an article on this very issue, titled “Why you need to get healthy before your conceive.” If you’re intending to get pregnant, we hope this piece will be of help to you! Our monthly magazine turn 8 this August and we’re really happy and grateful to be able to touch the lives of our readers all this while and we hope to be around for many more years to come. To those who have picked up their first copy of BabyTalk, welcome, we say! We have loads in store for you from the beginning of your pregnancy journey right up till your child is in preschool - we’ve got something in here for everyone, so enjoy! Till next month, then!
