We are planning to start trying in a few months and I want to get my body ready properly before that. Thinking about diet, weight, vitamins all that. What did u all do beforehand that actually helped?
First step should always be to visit your gynac for a pre-conception checkup. They will check your blood levels and start your folic acid, which is super important for baby's safety.
Preparing your body is such a beautiful start to this journey. Just focus on eating well, sleeping enough, and loving yourself because your body is about to do something magical.
Looking back at my planning days, I'd say just focus on building stamina with basic yoga and eating clean. Don't stress too much, our bodies are naturally designed for this.
I know how overwhelming it feels to prepare your body and worry if you are doing enough. Just take it one day at a time, start a simple folic acid tablet, and try to relax your mind.
Get a basic thyroid and CBC blood test done first to avoid expensive complications later. Planning your budget for regular hospital visits and vitamins from now itself is a smart move.
