What preparations should be made before pregnancy?

Although modern medicine is developing and progressing rapidly, it still cannot prevent some newborns from being born with diseases. In fact, the physical condition of the newborn still depends on some behavioral preparations made by the parents before pregnancy, so it is particularly necessary for parents to make some preparations before pregnancy. But what specific preparations do you need to make? Here we will guide you to understand what preparations you need to make before you want to get pregnant.

1. Decide whether you want to have children. If you and your loved one have a history of genetic diseases in your family, such as hereditary mental illness, mental retardation, diabetes, hypertension, etc.; or your wife has chronic diseases, such as heart disease, nephritis, epilepsy, etc., you need to consult a doctor and then decide whether to have children.

2. If you are sure you want a baby, it is recommended that the couple go to the hospital together for pre-pregnancy consultation.

3. Receive necessary vaccinations.

4. If your weight exceeds the standard weight, you should control your diet from now on and try to reduce your weight to the standard weight before getting pregnant.

5. Entrust your beloved pet to your relatives and friends.

6. Check for infections such as toxoplasmosis.

7. If you are taking birth control pills, stop taking them now. Start taking folic acid during the first month of pregnancy.

8. Start jogging, swimming, Tai Chi and other exercises from now on. Proper physical exercise can also help husbands improve their physical fitness and ensure the quality of sperm. Therefore, any couple planning to get pregnant should engage in regular exercise for a certain period of time before getting pregnant.

9. If you and your spouse have a hobby of smoking and drinking, then at least you should quit smoking and drinking from now on.

10. The best age for conception is generally 25-30 years old for women and 26-30 years old for men. At this time, the couple's bodies are mature, hormone secretion is vigorous, and the fetal development environment is good, which is conducive to fetal growth and development.

11. The best season for conception should be from May to June, avoiding early spring or late winter. This season has plenty of vegetables, fruits and sunshine, which are beneficial to the growth and development of the fetus.

12. The ideal day for conception should generally be around the fourteenth day of the menstrual cycle. There are reports that the miscarriage rate is higher after having sex after the 17th day of the menstrual cycle. (The first day of the menstrual cycle is the first day of menstruation).

13. Exercise for 30 minutes every day.

14. People working in a radioactive environment should be temporarily transferred away.

15. To enhance your immunity, don’t catch a cold!
