“Many factors affect the development of a fetus into a healthy child, some which are beyond your control and others that are within your control” (page 11).

Other things that you can change in your life is to make our diet better.

Part 6
When my aunt got pregnant, she really wasn’t happy. When she had the baby, she and her husband had to change a lot of their habits. The could be out all the time, and they also had to spend more time and money. I feel like this made them closer together.
