What tests should be done when preparing for pregnancy?

What do you need to check when preparing for pregnancy? This question is of great concern to some couples. Because this concerns the health of their future children. Only by having a comprehensive physical examination can they give birth to a healthy baby. Therefore, the aspects to be checked are very important. It is important to understand these before the inspection, which will reduce a lot of trouble. The following are some of the things to be checked.

1. The best environment for conception

Living environment: Your room should be clean, quiet, with plenty of sunlight, and a suitable temperature and fresh air. There should also be no cigarette smoke, because the carbon monoxide, cyanide, nicotine, tar and other harmful substances in cigarettes will not only pollute the indoor air, but also affect the quality of the embryo. Therefore, your partner should quit smoking 3 months before conception. Note: It is best not to conceive in a newly renovated room, because harmful gases in decoration materials such as formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, ammonia, etc. cannot be completely dissipated in a short time, thus endangering the health of the fetus and increasing the incidence of congenital malformations and leukemia.

Working environment: Before preparing to conceive, you and he should temporarily avoid occupational hazards and promptly transfer from jobs that involve contact with harmful substances such as lead, mercury, benzene, nickel, ammonia, radiation, isotopes, and electromagnetic waves. Because these toxic and harmful substances can damage reproductive function, leading to sperm abnormalities, miscarriage, fetal death in utero, premature birth, fetal deformities, etc.

2. Best age for conception

Did you know? The age of conception is also very important. If the age is too young (under 20 years old) and the body is not fully mature, conception at this time will increase the incidence of premature birth, difficult labor and deformed babies; if the age is too old (over 35 years old), the egg chromosomes are aging and the birth canal lacks elasticity. If conception at this time, the incidence of congenital idiocy will increase significantly, and difficult labor will also be prone to occur.

Obstetricians and gynecologists believe that the best age for conception is 25 to 29 years old for women and 26 to 30 years old for men. Men and women in this age group have fully developed bodies, their hormone secretions are vigorous, and their fertility is at its best. Women in this age group have the highest quality eggs, the best birth canal elasticity and uterine contraction force, thus greatly reducing the incidence of miscarriage, premature birth, stillbirth and deformed babies.

3. Best season for conception

There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. So, which one is the best season for conception? Generally speaking, late summer and early autumn are the best seasons for conception. Why? There are three reasons.

First: This period is the harvest season, and all kinds of fresh vegetables, fruits and melons are on the market in large quantities. Expectant mothers can obtain rich nutrition, which is beneficial to the healthy growth of the fetus.

Second: The incidence of epidemic viral infections such as rubella, influenza, and meningitis is relatively low during this period, because in the first three months after pregnancy, which is the embryo formation period, if the baby is attacked by these viruses, it will damage the developing organs of the fetus, which may cause intellectual disabilities, developmental malformations, etc.

Third: When the baby is born the following year, it is in late spring and early summer, avoiding the hot summer and cold winter, and the climate is pleasant, which is conducive to the mother's quick recovery and feeding the baby.

4. Best date for conception

If you want to conceive successfully, you must master your ovulation period, because it is easiest to conceive during ovulation.

How to determine ovulation? If your menstrual cycle has always been very regular, generally speaking, your ovulation period is around 14 days before the next menstrual period.

How to self-test ovulation period? If your menstrual period is not normal, you can use basal body temperature to determine the ovulation period. The specific method is: when you wake up every morning, do not get up or move your body. First, use a thermometer to measure your body temperature. Generally, there will be a small fluctuation in body temperature before and after ovulation, dropping and then rising, and the fluctuation range is above 0.3℃. This is the ovulation period.

5. Best place to conceive

The place for conception should be chosen in a place that is familiar, warm and comfortable to both you and him, so that both of you can completely relax your nerves. Therefore, the best place for conception should be in your own home.

6. Best state for conception

The best time to conceive is when both you and he are in the best health and mood.

Health: Before preparing for pregnancy, you and he should go to the hospital for a comprehensive health check-up to make sure that both of you are in good health. If so, it means that you and he already have the greatest capital and guarantee to conceive a healthy and smart baby.

You should also pay attention to your emotions when preparing for pregnancy. Therefore, in the days of preparing for conception, you and he should pay special attention to emotional issues. Maintain a good attitude and a happy mood to face this matter. This is responsible for yourself and your baby. Pay attention to these and you can give birth to a healthy baby.
