Saw some video where they said water fasting helps reset the body before conceiving. We are planning to start trying next month. Sounds thoda extreme to me, has anyone actually done this?
Nako baba, fasting wagere naka karu pregnancy planning chya veli, ho na. Body la energy ani nutrition pahije aste conceiving sathi. Doctor pan nehami mhanat ki vyavasthit jeva ani healthy raha, haan na.
I felt that giving my body the best nourishment was the first step to welcoming my baby. When I was preparing for pregnancy, I focused on positive thoughts and eating wholesome food, not restricting myself. Water fasting feels too harsh for a body that is preparing to create a new life.
I am still pregnant with my first and I remember reading about these detox diets before I conceived. I'm so glad I didn't do any fasting because my doctor said nutrient deficiency can affect egg quality. Has anyone actually tried water fasting and what did your doctor say?
I am also newly married and trying to conceive right now, and I would be too scared to try a water fast. I think our bodies need proper nourishment and folic acid to prepare for pregnancy. Maybe we should just stick to healthy eating and avoid any extreme diets.
Honestly, please don't do water fasting when you are planning a baby. I recently delivered and during my TTC phase, my doctor told me that starving the body makes it think it's in danger, which can stop ovulation. It's much better to eat small, nutritious meals instead.
A healthy, balanced diet is much better than fasting when you are planning a family. Just eat fresh home-cooked food and keep your mind peaceful, dear.
Haha, are you crazy? Here I am in my 3rd trimester, eating every two hours because I'm always starving, and you want to do a water fast! Jokes apart, your body needs all the strength and vitamins it can get to prepare for a baby. Skip the fasting and go have a nice, healthy meal!
Oh my god, please don't do this! I used to overthink my diet so much, but water fasting sounds so extreme and might mess up your hormones or cause severe weakness. What if it delays your cycle and makes conceiving even harder? Please, talk to your doctor before trying such big changes.
I also panicked when I read online about detoxing through water fasting before getting pregnant, and I thought I had to do it. But when I asked my gynac, she laughed and said it's totally unnecessary and can actually delay pregnancy by stopping ovulation! I ate normal home food after that and conceived perfectly fine.
In our family, elders always say that a woman's body needs to be strong like a fertile soil before sowing a seed, so fasting is never advised. My doctor also agreed and said strict water fasting can disturb your periods. Better to have healthy ragi, curd, and fresh vegetables instead.
Yaar, actually water fasting is a bad idea when you are trying to conceive. Your body needs proper calories to produce healthy eggs, otherwise, your cycle will get totally messed up. Just focus on clean eating and stay hydrated with coconut water or fresh juices instead.
As someone who struggled with PCOS for years before conceiving, I can tell you that extreme diets like water fasting can crash your sugar levels and disrupt your hormones even more. While losing weight can help PCOS, it should be done through balanced low-glycemic meals, not starvation. Please check with a doctor to make a safe diet plan.
