Before preparing for pregnancy, it is recommended to conduct a comprehensive physical health assessment, including body mass index (BMI) measurement, blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids and other examinations. Older age for a second child and obesity will increase the risk of complications during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes and high blood pressure during pregnancy.
