We started trying this month and i want to do everything right. Apart from the obvious stuff, are there foods or habits i should cut down on? Tell me from ur experience pls.
When I was trying, I cut down heavily on caffeine and stopped taking any random over-the-counter painkillers. Focus on eating fresh, home-cooked food and start your folic acid after asking your doctor. It really helps prepare your body.
Please avoid extreme stress, heavy self-medication, and uncooked or raw foods. Having gone through a miscarriage, I became very mindful of keeping my body safe. It is always best to do a preconception checkup with your doctor to be safe.
Avoid too much processed food, smoking, and alcohol. Also, don't use chemical-heavy vaginal douches as they can alter your natural flora. Just keep it simple, stay active, and track your fertile window calmly.
Don't take too much stress, dear, that is the biggest thing to avoid. Just eat healthy, limit your tea and coffee, and don't do extreme diets. Take it easy and let your doctor guide you on basic vitamins.
