The health of the mother and father directly affects the health and quality of life of their future son or daughter. The role of pregnancy planning in this regard can hardly be overestimated. Every woman should know how to conceive a healthy child and minimize any risks to him.
Give up contraception
The first thing to do is to give up any methods of contraception other than barrier ones. It is advisable to do this no later than 3 months before the planned conception. This is necessary to restore a woman's monthly cycle and normalize her hormonal levels.
Get in shape
The mother-to-be needs to be in good physical shape to carry the baby. Someone needs to lose weight, and someone needs to get better. This is necessary for the prevention of metabolic diseases. Obese women often suffer from hypertension, and in the later stages from gestosis, which can have an extremely negative effect on the condition of the child. Too thin women simply cannot get pregnant, since an exhausted body simply will not allow bearing a child, which in itself is stress for the female body. Also, be sure to get tested for infections.
Review your habits and diet
To give up smoking and alcohol consumption is necessary not only for the expectant mother, but also for the father. The consumption of coffee should also be reduced. Take a couple of vitamin and mineral complexes. A woman additionally needs to take folic acid for the same 3 months before conception.
Tune in to the positive
Love for the future baby, a bright attitude will help to overcome the difficulties that most women go through in 9 months. If you can't wait to understand whether conception has come, then pay attention to the first signs of pregnancy.
How to know if you are pregnant
Often, the symptoms of pregnancy are similar to the manifestations of some kind of disease. Already on the 6th day after conception, some women have soreness in their breasts, their slight increase. Perhaps the appearance of pain in the lower abdomen after intercourse, which is associated with the introduction of a fertilized egg into the walls of the uterus. Changes in taste, stomach discomfort in the morning for several days can also be associated with the onset of pregnancy. It will be possible to accurately determine pregnancy only with the help of a test or an analysis for the content of chorionic gonadotropin in the blood.
