1. Preconception Health Check-up
Schedule a visit with your healthcare provider to assess your overall health and discuss your plans for pregnancy. The check-up may include
- A physical examination
- Blood Tests
- Discussions about your medical history
- Vaccinations and lifestyle factors.
This helps to identify and address any underlying health conditions or risks that could affect your pregnancy.
2. Optimize Your Health
2.1. Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle
Follow your doctor’s instructions when taking prenatal vitamins to help your baby’s development. Focus on adopting a healthy lifestyle by –
- eating a balanced diet
- engaging in regular exercise
- maintaining a healthy weight.
Make sure to include Folic acid, which is a B vitamin. If a woman has enough folic acid in her body at least 1 month before and during pregnancy, it can help prevent major birth defects in the baby’s brain and spine.
2.2. Talk to the doctor
Make sure to connect with the doctor regarding every aspect. Be sure to talk to your doctor about:
- Medical Conditions
- Lifestyle
- Medications
- Vaccinations
- Behaviors
3. Understand Your Menstrual Cycle and Fertility
Track your menstrual cycle to identify your most fertile days. Use methods like basal body temperature charting or ovulation predictor kits. Engage in regular sexual activity during your fertile window to increase your chances of conception. If you experience difficulties getting pregnant, consider consulting with a fertility specialist for further evaluation and assistance.
