A planned pregnancy is good for you and your baby. Once you get pregnant, life changes and you cannot lead the same carefree life that you led earlier. Responsibilities increase, financially as well as in creating a healthy bond between you and your unborn baby. You have to start preparing and planning for your pregnancy early if you want it to go smoothly later. There are numerous advantages to a planned pregnancy.
Doctor’s Visit
A visit to the doctor as a part of conception planning will prepare you for pregnancy, He will check your medical condition, advise you if you are above 35, and give you vaccinations.
Most Fertile Period
Another thing to consider about is actually getting pregnant. There are many ways to keep a track of your most fertile period if you want to get pregnant. The Fertility Monitor, Ovulation Kit, Basal Body Temperature, cervical mucus or a pregnancy planning calendar are some of the ways to chart out your fertility cycle to help you get pregnant.
Food And Nutrition
A planned pregnancy is good for you and the baby because you can prepare your body with healthy food intake. Folic Acid supplements, vitamins and minerals and green leafy vegetables and fruits make a healthy diet.
Exercise and Relaxation- Exercise and relaxation during pregnancy planning will help you keep calm, relax and make you feel much healthier and better about yourself.
Complications During First Pregnancy
If you are planning your second pregnancy and especially if your first one was a complicated one, or if you have gained weight in the interim period, do visit the doctor and take his advice. You should maintain the right body mass index to have a healthy pregnancy.
Avoid the Three Devils
Please stop if you drink alcohol or you are a smoker or do drugs. These three devils can be counterproductive to the health of the growing infant within the womb.
Medication
A planned pregnancy is good for you and your baby. Imagine if you didn’t know about the negative effects some of the over-the-counter medicines that you unwittingly took can have on your unborn child. This can be very dangerous. It is better not to take any medication without checking with your doctor first. And if you are on medication for any other illnesses- please inform him, he will want to know in your best interests.
Genetic Counseling
Genetic Counseling as a part of pre pregnancy planning is important because there are diseases that our genes carry that may be passed on to the baby. Genetic counseling can help you avoid the trauma of having a baby with birth defects.
Financial Planning
Having a baby can be quite expensive especially if you are unprepared for it. From regular visits to the doctor to shopping for baby products, the long list of bills can be daunting. If you have health insurance, have saved and planned for the future of yourself and the little one, you will find things much better.
Reading Good Books and Magazines
Besides seeking professional help it’s important that you read good books and magazines to help you cope with getting pregnant. Aren’t you quite sure now that a planned pregnancy is good for you and your baby?
