EXPERTS have identified the lifestyle factors that mean women are more likely to have a normal, healthy pregnancy.
Measures such as eating three pieces of fruit a day and controlling blood pressure before and during pregnancy were found to cut the chances of women suffering serious complications.
The researchers, writing in the British Medical Journal, believe following the advice could help thousands more women avoid problems which put themselves and their babies at risk.
Scientists from King?s College London monitored more than 5,600 first-time mothers from the UK, New Zealand, Australia and Ireland to try to identify the factors which increased their chances of having a healthy pregnancy.
