Most women want to become mothers and sooner or later they think about what needs to be done and what preparatory steps to take so that the baby is born healthy. “I want a child” is not just a phrase or a momentary desire, it is not an attempt to save a family that has cracked. To give birth to a child is to be ready to change your life. And, like any important event, the birth of a child requires considerable preparation.
Health
Of course, if you are serious about the planning process, then you have passed the necessary examinations, excluded the presence of infectious and inflammatory diseases, which is extremely important for the health of the future baby.
It is necessary to evaluate not only the state of health of the woman, but also the man. The quality and mobility of sperm to a large extent depends on the success of your attempts to get pregnant. To increase the chances, pay attention to the diet of a man: it should include meat, nuts, vitamin E. Experts recommend to abstain from sexual intercourse for several days - so the quality and number of sperm will be higher.
Some couples, despite the fact that they love children and want to become parents, postpone this moment, associating it with an insufficient level of material support or a small number of square meters.
It must be remembered that a woman is desirable to become a mother to 35 years. The ideal period is from 25 to 35 years.
Before 25, not everyone is ready for such responsibility (and at the first stage and limited in actions), and as a result, a woman can experience considerable stress. After 35 there is a decline in reproductive functions. This does not mean that a woman after 40 will not be able to get pregnant and give birth to a healthy baby, but the likelihood of this is reduced.
Of course, it is necessary to stop smoking, drinking alcohol (in any quantities), uncontrolled intake of medicines. Alcohol consumption not only reduces the likelihood of fertilization, but also significantly increases the risk of developing various defects in the fetus. The egg cell can accumulate toxic substances, so with long-term negative effects, the ability to fertilize can disappear. Such a lifestyle also affects men's health - the quality of sperm and their mobility deteriorates.
Stress
Stress is a dangerous factor for those women who are planning to become pregnant in the near future. Prolonged states of psycho-emotional stress are accompanied by the production of stress hormones, which, due to their activity, lead to the “deactivation” of sex hormones, which can cause the lack of ovulation. Also, hormonal imbalance can lead to a decrease in the thickness of the endometrial layer - because of which the fertilized egg will not be able to attach.
Stress can reduce sperm quality.
Even if you try for several months, but so far nothing has worked out - get upset early. It is extremely rare to get pregnant the first time. If after longer attempts (from six months), there are no results, consult a specialist.
Today, medicine offers many ways that help those couples who do not get pregnant. This may be drugs, whose action is aimed at improving the quality and mobility of sperm in men. After taking such drugs husbands, many women got pregnant. In extreme cases, artificial insemination may be recommended. Thanks to him, specialists manually in vitro fertilize the egg of a woman, and then transfer the embryo through the cervix.
