Pregnancy is a condition when mood changes are just inevitable. Storm of emotions, flurry of feelings, and inexhaustible flow of ideas - «fears» - on how to prepare in advance and save yourself from unnecessary stress?

Unfortunately, there still no ideal drugs for pregnant women. And if they are even invented - they are not yet tested on future mothers. We read a standard phrase: «While pregnancy and lactation the safety and efficacy of the drug has not been established». Instructions to prescribed drugs usually advise comparing the risks. So, if you plan pregnancy, it is best to «arm» theoretical knowledge and some things in advance. Optimal - several months before you start putting the idea into practice. Do not be limited only by traditional visits to a gynecologist and therapist! Involve a future dad in the process! There are places where you cannot do without him.

We advise you looking in a pharmacy, bookshop, to the dentist and gym!
Digital ovulation test - a decent copy for collection of gadgets.

B9 is the most important vitamin for pregnant women

Pharmacy

What to buy:

* folic acid (vitamin B9)

The question of dose and mode of folic acid administration is solved individually, you should surely discuss this with your doctor. Deficit of B9, perhaps the most important «pregnant» vitamin, is a prerequisite for development of miscarriage, partial or complete detachment of placenta, spontaneous abortion or stillbirth, increased risk of developing fetal congenital malformations: neural tube defects, hydrocephalus, anencephaly, cerebral hernia, increases the risk of children delayed mental development.

Important! You should and can take folic acid in advance, 2-3 months prior to pregnancy. In the process of heat treatment only 4% of 100% Vitamin B9 survive. The quantity your own intestines microflora produces may not be enough. There is no alternative: you need to take folic acid in the form of vitamins, not hoping to receive it in other ways.

* Ovulation test

Ovulation test allow determining the days when a chance of conception is the highest.

Work of digital ovulation test is based on identification of rapid growth in the number of luteinizing hormone (LH) in urine. The release of LH occurs in approximately 24-36 hours before ovulation. Once you see a smile in a test window, the time has come! To maximize your chances of getting pregnant, you should make love in the next 48 hours.
Note: Chronic stress can cause distortion of the data!

* Thermometer - if you decided to approach the sacrament of conception from a scientific point of view, and you have no desire to spend money on expensive ovulation tests, you should buy a special rectal thermometer. Measure temperature in anus (it is called basal or rectal) and build the schedule. Put dates on the horizontal, temperature scale - on the vertical. Data from two-three cycles will clearly show the days of ovulation (in the day temperature is the lowest), and will allow planning the most successful love moments.

Note: Before measuring the temperature you cannot rise, otherwise the picture will be wrong! Execute the procedure only in the morning, at the same time, for about 5 minutes. Start building the schedule from 1 day of the cycle (the first day of menstruation).

Dentist

Cured teeth are always better than sick. While preparation for the operation, of all forces are given to removal infection in the body, not to carry infection through the bloodstream, and avoid an inflammation process. Pregnancy is certainly not an operation, but approach is the same. It would be far better to engage in development of nursery, than sitting in a chair, being nervous: «whether a local anesthetic affect fetus development? Whether the doctor used a good drug?».

In fact, calcium cannot leave the enamel and dentine in any other way, except for acid etching: due to sour fruits, citrus fruits, juices (be ready to rinse your mouth after each meal) or acid secreted by microbes while expansion of dental plaque - standard toothbrushing in the morning and evening is a minimum.

Important: Even if you believe you brush teeth properly, but still had no dentist hygienist’s recommendations, ask him to demonstrate you proper toothbrushing. Follow received instructions from now on continue, as often as possible. You will not damage enamel, and your teeth will be healthy!

Bookshop

What to buy:

* Books on the subject of interest, buy a couple-three books, which describe not only pregnancy, but also the first years of baby’s life. For example, «Waiting for a baby» or «Mother and Child».

Then, after childbirth, you will have no time for theoretical training.

Important: Be sure to find information about adverse days during pregnancy (days when sex should be avoided) in popular scientific literature.

* Topical magazines - they not only give you useful information, but are also loyal assistants until the belly is not round, in public transport. I doubt if anyone will try to raise you from your seat, in you hold «9 months» in your hands.

* Discs with pleasant music and voices of nature

Anti-stress sound therapy has no contraindications. Listen and enjoy!

Fitness Club

If you are an owner of too magnificent figure, there is sense to begin engaging in sports in advance, do not put off until tomorrow and «when a child is born», and drive away thoughts «Why should go to the gym, I’ll still gain weight during pregnancy and lactation». A fat mom is a prerequisite to existence of fetal blood supply problems. Are you ready to consciously put a baby on the line? If not, choose exercises that give aerobic load: free weights - bars, dumbbells - are not for you. Dancing, swimming pool, running track and bike will help parting with extra kilograms, and at the same time raise immunity.

Important: Do not expect to get a desired result the next day! At first avoid getting involved in high loads. Reference test: try declaiming a poem or song, walking on the track, or cycling. You should not be out of breath, if you want - lower pace or load level!

Do not be upset, if pregnancy occurred before you proceed to its preparation. In this case, quickly adjust your action plan and have fun, repeating a mantra «Pregnancy is not a disease, but a natural state of the body».

Do not be upset, if pregnancy does not occur immediately, during the first cycle, enjoy the process. Paradox: if you want pregnancy too much, then it does not come immediately.
