What should I prepare before getting pregnant?

After a couple gets married, having a child is basically a process that every family must go through, but when people realize this wish, they need to pay attention to many details. Only by making preparations before pregnancy can you give birth to a healthy baby. So what should you prepare before getting pregnant? I have a certain understanding of this aspect of pregnancy preparation. Let me share with you my personal views.

If a couple wants to have a baby, they should start preparing three months before pregnancy. Both husband and wife should adjust their physical condition, and the wife should start taking 400 micrograms of folic acid every day. It is harmful to the husband's health if he often stays up late, and it will also affect the quality of sperm. He should be advised to have a regular life one month before pregnancy to ensure the nurturing of a healthy fetus. In addition, you can ask your husband to supplement some vitamins to balance the body's internal environment. Prenatal preparation should be done three months before you want to get pregnant.

1. Physical examination.

During the first few weeks of pregnancy, you may not even know you are pregnant. However, during this period, the development of the fetus is most easily affected. Therefore, if you want to get pregnant, you should pay attention to maintenance in your daily life. In pre-pregnancy preparation, the first thing to do is to maintain a normal weight commensurate with your height within 6 months before conception. If you are seriously overweight or underweight, see your doctor for advice on how to achieve a normal weight.

If you have a chronic disease, be sure to tell your doctor before planning to get pregnant and listen to the doctor's medication advice. If you usually take birth control pills, you must stop taking them completely 3 months before you plan to conceive to allow your body to return to its normal menstrual cycle. It is best to wait until you have three menstrual cycles before getting pregnant, during which time you can use other contraceptive methods.

2. Nutritional supplements. Be sure to supplement folic acid. Ensure that there is no lack of trace elements. Also eat more fruits and vegetables.

3. Don’t overdo it when taking supplements. 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. Many pregnant women blindly supplement nutrition in excess, and coupled with more rest and less exercise on a daily basis, they are prone to gestational hypertension and diabetes. Eating too much blindly will be harmful to both the expectant mother and the fetus.

4. Quantitative exercise. It can promote the rational allocation of hormones in women's bodies, ensure the balance of hormones in women's bodies and the smooth implantation of sperm during conception, avoid miscarriage in early pregnancy, and promote the development of the fetus in the pregnant woman's body and the flexibility of the baby's body in the future. It can also reduce the difficulty and pain of childbirth for pregnant women. Proper physical exercise can also help husbands improve their physical fitness and ensure the quality of sperm.

5. In addition, the husband should stop smoking as much as possible.

The above contents are some introduction to the question of what to prepare before pregnancy. These contents can tell us what we should do before pregnancy. After understanding some knowledge, you can follow the above methods when preparing for pregnancy. If the work before pregnancy is done well, you will definitely give birth to a healthy baby.
