We are planning to start trying from next month and i really want to do everything right. Want to know which habits or things i should stop or avoid beforehand. Anything you wish u knew before?
First thing, stop smoking and drinking, both you and your partner. Don't take any medicines without asking your doctor. Also, don't ignore your mental health; stress is a big factor. Eat healthy and stay active, but don't overdo gym or crash diets.
While planning, please don't forget to start folic acid – doctor told me it's crucial! Also, avoid crash diets or over-exercising. And honestly, try not to get too stressed about it, I know it's hard but that stress itself is not good. You'll need all your energy for the morning sickness later on!
Ho na, it's important to be careful. Don't take any unprescribed medicines, even simple ones, without checking with your gynac. And try to avoid too much stress, yaar. Just relax a bit, eat healthy, and don't forget to take your folic acid, haan?
Okay, so while planning, definitely cut out alcohol and smoking entirely. Reduce caffeine intake. Don't stress too much about "perfect timing" every single month – it adds pressure. And for god's sake, don't ignore your own health, get a pre-conception check-up.
Definitely don't ignore taking folic acid supplements, start them months before! Also, don't rely solely on apps if your cycle is irregular; actually, get checked by a doctor. Avoid excessive alcohol and try to reduce screen time close to bed, too.
Yaar, the main thing is actually to avoid any kind of harmful substances like smoking or too much alcohol. And don't start any new intense diet or workout routine without talking to your doctor. Focus on overall well-being, na.
When planning, don't forget to get a full health check-up. If you have any existing conditions like thyroid, don't neglect them; ensure they are well-managed before conceiving. Don't stop your prescribed medicines without consulting your doctor, even if you think they might affect conception. Regular follow-ups are key.
