We know that the physical health of both spouses directly determines the quality of the fetus after pregnancy. Therefore, couples need to prepare for pregnancy in advance, preferably by undergoing pre pregnancy examinations and making preparations in all aspects to make their future babies healthier. So, how early should they prepare for pregnancy? Below, the editor will introduce it.
How long do I need to prepare for pregnancy in advance?
Pre pregnancy checkups are generally recommended to start 3-6 months before pregnancy, including for both partners. The pre pregnancy examination for the female partner is best conducted within 3-7 days after the end of menstruation, and it is advisable not to have sexual intercourse before the examination.
Once other issues are discovered during pre pregnancy examinations, there is still time for intervention and treatment. Therefore, it is advisable to undergo pre pregnancy examinations at least 3 months in advance, and both partners should do so simultaneously.
How to get pregnant faster by preparing for pregnancy?
1. Calculate the ovulation day for sexual intercourse
Calculating the ovulation date before having sex can increase the chances of conception. Ovulation usually begins around 14 days before menstruation. If a expectant mother's menstrual cycle is between 24-30 days, then the ovulation period is approximately between 10-16 days. The survival period of eggs is 12-24 hours, while sperm can last for nearly 72 hours. Therefore, having sexual intercourse every 2 days during ovulation makes it easier to conceive. Having sex between 5-7 am a day greatly increases the chances of conception.
2. Pay attention to the hygiene of private parts
Women need to keep their private parts clean. Endocrine disorders or excessive secretions can also affect sperm activity, which is very detrimental to pregnancy. So it is important to develop good hygiene habits in daily life, and daily care can be done by rinsing with warm water. This is not only beneficial for the body, but also can better stimulate desires and increase the chances of conceiving a baby.
3. Both husband and wife have a light diet
Many people suffer from malnutrition due to weight loss and picky eating habits, which is very detrimental to pregnancy preparation. So pregnant women should remember to pay more attention to a balanced diet, eat more fruits and nutrients, and develop good eating habits. On the other hand, try to stay away from smoking and drinking as much as possible. As we all know, smoking and drinking are harmful to the body but not beneficial. Especially for male friends, if they smoke and drink alcohol during the preconception period, it is easy to poison their sperm, leading to a decrease in sperm quality and preventing them from conceiving healthy children.
Now everyone should understand how early it is to prepare for pregnancy. Generally, it is better to start preparing for pregnancy three to six months in advance. If any problems or diseases are found during the examination that are not suitable for pregnancy, early treatment can be carried out. Even if there are no problems, one can take good care of their body and ensure the health of the child.
