Decades ago, you would not even be thinking of visiting your doctor (and you will be branded as insane or crazy), if you went to the doctor for a checkup before you were pregnant. However, today it's becoming one of the norms that most new and old mothers do. The reason is that the most critical period in the development of your baby occurs before you even know you're pregnant. If your body is unhealthy and unstable at the moment then maybe it's not a good time for the baby to live inside of you.Here's a list of things that you may need to know from your doctor for your pre-pregnancy check up list.Are your immunizations up to date? Have you taken all the necessary shots to insure that you're immune to chicken pox?Do you have any pre-existing healthy conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure? They have an impact on your pregnancy so ask about things that you can do to address them.Ask about your gynecological history. Your history may put you at risk for experiencing fertility or pregnancy complications.Ask about the drugs that you're currently using. Chances are a bulk of them you will not be able to use any more while you're pregnant. Some drugs even have to be stopped for a while and substituted for optimal ones to ensure fertility and a better living environment for your child.These are just some of the things you should know about
        pregnancy before trying to conceive or trying to have a baby. Try to learn
