Fit Pregnancy set out to determine what makes a city great for pregnant  women, new parents and babies, and to commend cities that provide a safe and  healthy environment to have a baby. The magazine examined 47 criteria, including  fertility services, maternal and infant health risk, access to hospitals and  doctors, safety, affordability, stroller friendliness and birthing options.
