20 Things All Couples Should Do Before Getting Pregnant

So, is it finally the time that you want to get pregnant? Are you ready for being the best parent in the world? If yes, then I really hope this article helps you to have the healthiest gestation period ever.

1.    Get rid of the contraceptive pill

You need to make sure to stop taking this pill at least few months before you want to get pregnant. This will assist you to find out your regular menstrual cycle, hence you will know the best time of mating in order to get pregnant. Intaking contraceptive pill alters the original menstrual cycle. Your menstrual cycle will naturally take some time to get back to its original position once you stop taking the pill.

2.    Have a talk with your partner

It is very important that you have a proper talk with your partner regarding the facts like where you want your child to born, which doctor you want to see, which hospital you want to visit, religious traditions, etc. You must also re-clear all those things that you like and dislike, so your partner knows not to bother you much in this special time of yours.

3.    Make sure to lessen caffeinated foods

It is very important that you cut off all the caffeine from your diet and make it a healthy one. This is because caffeine is what causes miscarriage.

4.    No party

Needless to say, that you are absolutely not allowed to drink or smoke while being pregnancy. And this is applicable for both the parents. Exaggerated amount of alcohol intake decreases sperm count in men and also intervened with fertility. Also, does smoking. This affects the quality of female zygote and again, decrease the sperm count in men, ascends possibility of birth defects, miscarriage, and many other conditions.

5.    Lose weight

It is very important that you lose some weight before you conceive because anyway you will be gaining afterwards. This is more applicable for any woman who is a bit overweight. This will no wonder help you to have a healthier pregnancy than usual.

6.    Go for movies

It is very important for both of you to spend some quality time with each other. Also, you will no longer be able to sit still for a long time once you get pregnant.

7.    Don’t buy anymore clothes

You know very well that pregnancy will make you put on a lot of weight. Those well fitted tops and skinny pieces of clothes will no longer be of any good. In addition to that, you will be buying maternity clothes after a few months, so why waste money?

8.    Save hard

Start saving money as pregnancy can get more expensive than you can even expect. There are lots of things coming once you get pregnant, like hospital bills, medicines costs, baby clothes, diapers, baby foods, etc. And it is your responsibility that you save money to help yourself and also your partner to balance down the extra cost.

9.    Sleep as much as you can

Get as much sleep as you can now, as you won’t be comfortable enough to do so after being pregnant. There will be too many times then that you have to get out of bed for peeing, for tossing and turning. It also helps one to get pregnant faster than usual. Hope you sleep really well now!

10.    Click photographs

Make sure to click a whole lot of photographs before being pregnant as it might be a long time that you have grabbed the camera. It is not that you will only click your and your husband’s photo, but also of the place where you met for the very first time, where he proposed you, your favorite cafeteria where you used to meet, etc. This is the time of your life which will never come back again.

11.    Make sure to pay a visit to the dentist

I know this seems quite stupid as it is completely irrelevant to pregnancy and all those stuffs, but it is better if you do so. This is because studies state that oral health is related to healthy pregnancy. Women who own unchecked gum are more likely to suffer from miscarriage. Do you really want to take a chance? I hope no!

12.    Get back your true hair color

Hair-color is definitely not harmful while pregnancy period is going on, but you see, it is practically impossible for you to visit the parlor every week once you get pregnant. It is tiring as almost anything and everything is tiring during pregnancy. Or you may just find alternate ways to save the color or make it last longer than usual. Talk to your parlor lady in that case.

13.    Pay your doc a visit

Just go and visit your doctor in general to make sure that you have no issue of STDs, all vaccines were provided on time, all organs are doing well, etc. You can also ask him or her about anything that you might want to know about being pregnant. Also, decide to which doctor to visit during your gestation period, and build a good bond with her. She should be very well behaved and MUST not get irritated while asked questions.

14.    Required nutrients

If you are planning for pregnancy, then you should start taking multivitamins and Vitamin B and this descends brain and spinal birth defects till seventy percent. Doing this will make you get habituated with this and this will hence be helpful once you get pregnant.

15.    Girls out

Vacation with all of your girlfriends as you need lots of help and support once you get pregnant and also, after your delivery. And not only that, it is also important that you stay happy and mentally fresh before expecting.

16.    Make sure to say NO to stress

Stress delays pregnancy, no wonder. So do what you like best and relax to help yourself as you don’t want all your efforts to go in vain.

17.    Talk to your mum

Mums are the most knowledgeable, helpful and experienced people of all. So, consulting with them will apparently help. You can also consult any other female friends or relative to know whatever you want to know regarding pregnancy.

18.    Restaurants are a MUST visit

You must start and complete visiting all the places you and your partner were dying to go for eating till now but couldn’t due to shortage of time. You can definitely do this after being pregnant, but you see. Your appetite will alter for sure. So, it’s completely your will if you want to go or not.

19.    Job pleasure matters

Since you will be going for maternity leave after a few months, this is high time that you can easily change your job in case if you dislike it. It just gets easy when you are pregnant!

20.    Abode

If you happy staying where you are staying now, then everything is just going perfect, there is nothing that you have to do. But if you are discontent about the place, or you think you need a bigger place to live in a better way, then you should and MUST move on before being pregnant as that will make you shift few things now and will also make your life easier.

I hope all of these get help to you and you get pregnant as soon as possible. Make sure to trim off all your bad habits ow and continue having a healthy diet even after your delivery is done. In advance, Happy Pregnancy!
