Getting your body prepared for pregnancy is one of the best decisions you possibly will make. Your body will be more prepared for the challenge of growing a baby and the experience will be a little easier on your body.
Every woman surely knows how important it is to eat well while you are pregnant. The benefit it provides you and your baby is important. But, do you also know how important it is to eat well even before you get pregnant? If you are actively trying to get pregnant you have to make sure your body is prepared to accept the challenge. The first thing you should do before even beginning to try is to talk to your doctor to see how you measure up health wise. Does he think you need to lose a few pounds before getting pregnant or does he feel you need to gain a few? Your doctor may recommend that you change your eating habits and start exercising.
Perhaps the most important thing you can do before you get pregnant is to cut out all alcohol. Community health workers and gynecologists have clearly advised that women who drink alcohol will most likely have a harder time getting pregnant than women who do not drink. Another reason why you should give up alcohol is that most birth imperfections that are caused by alcohol exposure usually occur in the first few weeks of pregnancy, usually before you can even know you are pregnant. As soon as you decide you want a baby, you should begin to get in the habit of eating healthier. Slowly begin to cut out caffeine. If you smoke, now is a good time to quit rather than waiting until you have that positive test. Smoking can decrease your fertility and increase your risk of a miscarriage if you are still smoking when you are pregnant.
Another thing you can do is to start taking prenatal or at least some multivitamin supplement that contains at least 400 micrograms of folic acid. You can also begin to add food into your diet that is rich in folic acid such as spinach and other green vegetables, peanuts, and orange juice. You can also start by taking a prenatal vitamin also. These vitamins contain iron, folic acid, and calcium along with vitamin C, D, B and vitamins B6 and B12 also.
Appraise your diet. Begin to eat foods that have plenty of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Lay off the fat and excess sugar. You want to eat foods that have a high nutrient density. Eat at least five portions a day of fruits and vegetables along with protein and iron rich foods like dried fruit, and green vegetables. Try to steer clear of raw fish like sushi, and steer clear of undercook shellfish, meat or chicken. You also want to try to avoid fish that has high mercury content like swordfish, shark, or king mackerel. Cut out any food that has unpasteurized milk in it including cheeses such as brie, camembert, and some Mexican cheese. Also cut out foods that have raw egg in it including homemade cookie dough. In all you do, make sure you augment your water intake and should always be your first drink choice before, after and during your pregnancy. Water helps to flush your system of toxins. Once you’ve gotten your eight glasses in, you can drink fruit and vegetable juices also.
