You are planning to start the process of becoming a mother. You may also have seen some baby name books. You are mentally ready to welcome a new baby. It’s time to focus on keeping your body as healthy as possible.

However, making a to-do list is not enough. There are also a few things to keep in mind. If you want to get pregnant, do not do any of the following:

1. Significant weight loss or gain

If you are overweight or underweight, your chances of getting pregnant are very low. Menstruation may not be regular for these two reasons. If your periods do not come every month, your ovaries will not release an egg or produce *****.

Fluctuations in weight can cause changes in hormone levels, which can lead to infertility. Obesity also increases your chances of development:

• Miscarriage
• Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that occurs only during pregnancy.
• Preeclampsia

A baby born with large birth weight and multiple birth problems.

Before and during pregnancy, you want to maintain a healthy weight. Experts recommend that expectant mothers try for a BMI of 18.5 to 27.

2. Exercising a lot

Having a sofa potato is not always good for you. If you are thinking of getting pregnant, this is not the time to prepare for a triathlon. Exercising causes hormonal changes in your ovaries that make it harder to produce or release eggs.

Even if you are at a healthy weight, intense jogging, aerobics, swimming or cycling can make it difficult to conceive. However, if you are overweight, exercising can help you lose weight and increase your chances of getting pregnant.

3. Waiting too long to have a family

If you are in your late 30s, you are almost halfway through fertilization in your early 20s. It is difficult to conceive as the size and quality of eggs decrease with age. So do not be surprised, talk to your doctor about your age and chances of having a baby. This is something that even men need to know. While maternal age is a very important factor, men over the age of 50 are also less fertile.

4. Do not stop drinking alcohol until you miss your periods.

If the chance of getting pregnant crosses your mind for a single moment, experts now recommend skipping a happy time.

Keep in mind the fact that half of all pregnancies are undesirable. So you can stay out of town, have a few drinks, and not even realize you are pregnant.

If you drink, your baby will drink too. The relaxing effects of alcohol can interfere with your baby's brain and nervous system development. Alcohol affects your baby in all stages of pregnancy, but especially in the first few weeks.

Your man should drink too. Alcohol stimulates erection by lowering testosterone levels in the body. If this happens, you are unlikely to get pregnant.

5. Smoke

Tobacco is harmful to health. Even if you do not try to conceive, you should stop smoking. If the child is to be born, the habit must be stopped. Keep in mind the following smoking hazards:

• If you smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day, your chances of getting pregnant are significantly reduced.
• Smoking alters the fallopian tubes and ******, resulting in miscarriage. It can also lead to ectopic (or tubal) pregnancy, which is a pregnancy that occurs outside of **** but does not cause the baby.
• Smoking damages your ovaries, causing you to produce fewer eggs. The fewer eggs you produce, the less likely you are to conceive.

Tell your partner to quit smoking. Smoking lowers their ***** numbers and they are more likely to swim slowly.

6. Take vitamins in double

If you are planning to become pregnant, take a prenatal vitamin with 400 micrograms of folic acid per day. It helps prevent congenital defects called neural tube defects.

However, do not take large doses of megavitamins or supplements. For example, vitamin A deficiency is associated with developmental problems in children.

7. Increase intake of energy drinks or espresso shots.

Relax and relax. Remember, after the baby arrives, you stay awake most nights. When it comes to caffeine, it is recommended to use it in moderation. Drinking a glass of coffee every day should not affect your ability to conceive. If you drink espresso twice a day, three diet sodas, and a chocolate bar, it's time to reduce it.

8. Do not reduce the sex

Sounds silly, right? However, it is worth repeating. If you want to get pregnant you need a lot ****. Couples who have busy schedules every few days are more likely to get pregnant.

9. Do not take your medications

You may believe that you should stop taking all your medications before you become pregnant. However, they are not harmful to the unborn child. Stopping some of them is dangerous for both of you. It is not always advisable to discontinue treatment without consulting your doctor.

This is especially important if you are being treated for a problem such as seizures, depression, or high blood pressure. For example, stopping antiepileptic medications and having seizures while pregnant will prevent the baby from receiving oxygen.

10. Misuse of illicit substances

Street drugs can harm you and your unborn baby. It is not enough to stop taking them once you know you are pregnant. Your baby's organs are developing and the drugs in your body are affecting their development. So, stop using illegal substances as soon as you think of getting pregnant. Medications can take a long time to get out of your circulation. Encourage your partner to get rid of bad behavior too. Smoking *********, for example, interferes with the ability of those who become pregnant.
