People nowadays have plans for everything they do. When to go to school, when to work, when to get married, when to have children are all planned out one by one. Especially when it comes to having children, couples plan everything and have to pay attention to many things if they want to give birth to a healthy and beautiful baby. So what should they pay attention to when preparing for pregnancy? Let us take a brief look at it through the following content!

(1) Do not get pregnant when you are emotionally depressed

Once a person is in a state of anxiety, depression, and heavy mental burden, his or her physiological functions will inevitably change, which will not only affect the quality of sperm or eggs, but also after conception, the emotional stimulation will affect the mother's hormone secretion and affect the growth and development of the fetus. Therefore, when something unpleasant happens in a small family, it is best to use temporary contraception.

(2) Do not get pregnant when you are overly tired

For example, during the honeymoon period and travel, because both men and women are busy running around to arrange the wedding, attend social events, and entertain guests before and after the wedding, they consume too much physical energy, which reduces the quality of sperm and eggs. Frequent sexual intercourse during the honeymoon will also affect the environment for sperm and eggs to implant in the uterus, which is not conducive to eugenics. However, people have irregular daily routines while traveling, and their brains are often in an excited state. Coupled with excessive fatigue and bumpy journeys, these may affect the growth of the fertilized egg or cause the contraction of the pregnant uterus, leading to miscarriage or threatened miscarriage. Therefore, it is best not to get pregnant when you are overly tired.

(3) Do not conceive during illness

Because the disease affects the physical constitution, the quality of the fertilized egg and the intrauterine implantation environment, the medications taken during the illness may have an adverse effect on sperm and eggs, resulting in defects in the newborn. Therefore, when one of the couple is ill, they should wait until they recover and stop taking medication for more than half a year before getting pregnant.

(4) Avoid getting pregnant at an advanced age

When the man is over 55 years old or the woman is over 35 years old at the time of pregnancy, it is called an advanced-age pregnancy. Close monitoring is required during pregnancy because the incidence of fetal malformations in advanced-age pregnant women is relatively high.

(5) Avoid exposure to radioactive and highly toxic substances before pregnancy

Because germ cells are extremely sensitive to X-rays and highly toxic substances. If a woman has been exposed to X-rays before pregnancy, especially to the abdomen, it is safer to wait four weeks before getting pregnant.
