Pregnancy risks

[blahblah]

Hi all!

WHO claims 1/5th of all child mortality incidents happen in India.And of the 5 lakhs deaths due to pregnancy/childbirth related complications happen annually,one lakh takesplace in India too.

We are planning to have our first baby soon.The thought of any misfortune befalling us torments me!My wife is not particularly healthy and is a bit underweight.She has practically no exercise as she works in the same apartment complex where our flat is.And we haven't got our mothers or anyone else in our city.

What are the precautions one can take to have a healthy pregnancy and delivery? Is there any specific medical tests that we should undergo?

How about the proper diet and is there any exercise pattern that she should follow? Should she try to put on weight[she is just 40 kg]?

Is there any medication,calcium,vitamin tabs etc,which will help?

She can not deliver the baby here,so which month should I sent her home to our parents[Please consider that we both find it very difficult to be separated for long ]

I am waiting for some answers from the more ''experienced'' hubbers here
