There will never be a perfect time or the perfect way or perfectly stable time. And if you wait for perfection before trying then you will never end up with a baby. Good luck.

Physically - take pre-natals, drink OJ, exercise.
Mentally- Understand that this is a life long commitment, regardless of your work, relationship w/ child father you will be a mom and nothing will change that.
Financially- The cost more than you will ever know. Diapers and formula no matter how long you breastfeed or not cost a fortune. Get as much as you can for a shower or ask for a diaper donation get a jar for cash or checks not actual diapers b/c no matter the size of the baby newborn diapers might not fit(they didn't on my newborns) Sign up with formula and diaper sites and get checks for formula and coupons for diapers.
www.babycenter.com is a wealth of information that can and will help you through the process.

Physically - exercise
Mentally - read up on the changes that are going to happen (I recommend What to Expect When Your Expecting)
Financially - Start shopping for baby things when your about 4 months along so you have plenty of time to shop around.
Anything - Enjoy the process

Think of how to become pregnant. Buy some books on it. Remember, to get pregnant you must have sex on a day that your eggs are being released.
After the 3rd day from the day that menses started put a thermometer into your mouth and check your body temperature every morning before you start turning in bed. The best time is at about 4 a.m. Maintain a chart. You will find that on one day the body temperature drops from 1/2 degree to one degree. This is the day that your eggs are being released. If you want to get pregnant this is the day that you must have sex. Tell your husband to ejaculate on his inward thrust so that the sperms will shoot deep inside.
After having sex you must stay in bed for about 30 mins with your knees bent up with a pillow under your buttocks so that the sperms will not pour out - to enable them to travel up.
Get your husband to save his sperms in the testacles for at least 3 days before sex to enable them to mature well to do their job.

The best advice I can give you is try not to think about getting pregnant all the time. The stress can cause you not to get pregnant. Go ahead and let your doctor know you are trying to get pregnant and ask for prenatal vitamins. Don't drink or smoke or do drugs. Also if you don't get pregnant right away don't worry it will happen. GOOD LUCK.

Get married to someone on the same page as you are. Be as mentally and physically prepared as you can be and have money saved up or some kind of plan for that because they are expensive.

think the idea over, make sure you're ready. keep in mind, it's overwhelming, but you're looking forward to that baby.
start taking folic acid and other prenatal vitamins.
get the right healthy diet, exercise.
read information on the internet on reliable sites and in books about the subject.
go for a check -up with your OB, test for infections.
go to the dentist.
Less stress, more positive emotions.
Ask your partner to think about his health too.
Best of luck.

Relax and enjoy it - the more pressure you put on yourself, the harder it will be.
Take mulit-vitamins...
