FIGURE 2.10 For the Sake of the Baby According to one study in Ontario, there were significant changes in prenatal health behaviours between 2002 and 2008. Specifically, when compared to their last pregnancy, women were more likely to consult their health care provider about improving their health, quit/cut down on their smoking, and/or begin taking folic acid. In fact, many of these behaviour changes began even before conception (Best Start Resource Centre, 2009).
