1. Protect Your Seeds
Get up and walk around often: For many people, regular exercise has become a luxury, with no time, no mood… In short, there are various reasons supporting the laziness of the body.
2. Avoid Multiple Miscarriages
The uterus is like the soil of life, and whether it is medical abortion or surgical abortion, it is tantamount to artificial destruction of this land. If it happens repeatedly, it may cause the soil to become barren, making it impossible to conceive.
3. Precautions for Contraceptives and Various Contraceptive Measures
If you are using barrier contraceptive methods such as condoms or vaginal diaphragms, you can stop using them immediately to prepare for pregnancy. But if you are taking contraceptives or using intrauterine devices, you should stop using them for a period of time in advance, giving your body enough time to resume a normal menstrual cycle before conception.
Generally, you can prepare for pregnancy in the second menstrual cycle after stopping the medication. It is best to consider conception after the third or fourth normal menstrual cycle one or two months later.
2. Prepare Nutrition in Advance
1. Folic Acid Supplementation
If you are planning to conceive, it is important to supplement nutrients such as folic acid in your diet. Start supplementing folic acid three months before pregnancy, with a daily dose of 400 micrograms.
2. Change Unhealthy Eating Habits
Some of your usual eating habits may have adverse effects on pregnancy, so adjustments should be made during the pre-pregnancy period, such as iron and calcium deficiency during pregnancy. Therefore, if you have a habit of drinking coffee, it’s time to gradually quit.
3. Eat less spicy food, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and drink plenty of water.
One of the most common discomforts during pregnancy for many expectant mothers is constipation. Constipation is directly related to low activity levels and diet. Therefore, preventive measures should be taken from pre-pregnancy.
3. Maintain a Slim Figure for a Healthy Pregnancy
After the age of 30, many women tend to gain weight. Consciously maintaining a normal weight at this time not only benefits health, but also is very important for being a healthy expectant mother.
1. Being overweight increases the risk of many pregnancy complications.
Advanced age itself is a factor that increases the risk of pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. If you are also overweight, the risk of developing these issues increases. Therefore, to control and maintain a healthy pregnancy, pay attention to maintaining a normal weight.
2. Maintain a normal weight to ensure smooth delivery.
Advanced maternal age reduces the elasticity of the birth canal, leading to problems like prolonged labor or cesarean delivery.
If overweight, the risk of these issues increases, as well as the difficulty in postpartum recovery.
3. Avoid excessive weight loss and do not conceive immediately after weight loss.
Adult women consume a certain amount of fat with every menstrual cycle. Maintaining a certain amount of body fat ensures a normal menstrual cycle, allowing women to have reproductive ability. If weight loss methods that involve eating less or not eating are adopted, in the long run, excessive reduction of body fat can lead to ovulation cessation and infertility.
Before pregnancy, if weight loss is necessary due to being overweight, it’s best not to conceive immediately. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, weight loss disrupts the body’s original circulation pattern, so it’s advisable to give a three to six-month period for the body to adjust to the new pattern and establish good circulation before pregnancy.
4. Eliminate Psychological Stress
Many older expectant mothers worry about whether they can pass through the pregnancy period in good health on one hand, and on the other hand, they worry about their children – whether their advanced age will affect the child’s health?
1. You are not alone.
Moreover, the success rate of natural childbirth for older expectant mothers is increasing.
2. Pre-pregnancy check-ups can nip dangers in the bud.
Some diseases are hard to detect without clinical symptoms, such as diabetes. Comprehensive physical examinations before pregnancy, including gynecological check-ups, hepatitis B tests, blood pressure monitoring, etc., ensure a good state during pregnancy and naturally reduce psychological stress.
3. Plan your pregnancy, measure your body temperature in advance.
