What preparations should you make before getting pregnant?

Getting married is a major event in life, so naturally many newlyweds will think about having a baby after marriage. However, everyone knows that pregnancy is a troublesome thing. Not only do you have to pay attention to your own and your baby's health during pregnancy, but you also have to think about buying new clothes for the baby and bearing various expenses for the baby in the future, which is really a headache. So what are the preparations before getting pregnant? Let me answer your question below.

From the beginning of preparing for pregnancy, I have been eating fruits and various supplements in order to ensure the health and safety of mother and baby. Now that living conditions are better, Shanghai mothers-to-be are putting in a lot of effort in "replenishing" their bodies. According to Professor Wang Defen of Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Health Care Hospital, many pregnant women blindly supplement nutrition in excess, and they rest more and exercise less on weekdays. As a result, more than half of pregnant women are overweight in clinical practice, and gestational hypertension and diabetes are even more common. It is correct to supplement nutrition before and during pregnancy, but blindly eating in large quantities will be harmful to both the expectant mother and the fetus. Professor Wang introduced that it is normal for a pregnant woman’s weight before delivery to be within 12.5 kg higher than usual. If it is higher than this, she is overweight and is likely to give birth to an overweight baby. Therefore, daily diet and supplementation should be carried out regularly under the guidance of a doctor. Traditional concepts make most of our women passive pregnant women after marriage, so we cannot discuss pregnancy planning at all, let alone physical exercise before pregnancy. Many women find that their bodies are not suitable for childbirth or may affect the development of the fetus after becoming pregnant, and as a result they have no choice but to give up and terminate the pregnancy. There are countless such examples in real life. This is not only a regret for the family, but also causes great harm to women's bodies.

The above is what expectant mothers should pay attention to and prepare before pregnancy. In order to give birth to a healthy and smart baby, expectant mothers must first maintain their own physical health, and also make sufficient preparations as mentioned above before pregnancy, so that they can smoothly wait for the appearance of this little life during pregnancy.
