Couples should be aware of family health histories that could affect the baby's health and lead to the need for closer monitoring of the pregnancy. Couples should stop taking any medications or drugs that could harm the baby. Both men and women should stop smoking before conception to reduce risk of miscarriage and growth retardation.
