How to get body ready, prenatals? prenatal check? Posted: 12-18-07 14:31pm
Hey there chickies...I was posting pretty
regularly a while back when my fiance and
I had decided to ttc...Well, we actively
tried for a couple of months (with no
luck, obviously) , but we've put it on
hold for now as our wedding is next
November and I want to be able to fit into
my dress...lol! But we are planning on
starting ttc again a month or two before
the wedding, as we're both super excited
to have a family and would like to get a
jump start! I'm wondering if there's
anything I can do now to up my chances of
conceiving next year? When should I start
prenatals? When should I have a prenatal
checkup with my doctor? Is there anything
else I can do to get my body ready? Any
tips would be much appreciated! Thanks,
lovelies!

Congrats on deciding to ttc next year (an
on the upcoming wedding). I've read that
it's good to be healthy and limit bad
habits. Try to be fit, eat well, and
exercise. You probably don't need the
prenatals until you start trying. Avoid
alcohol, caffeine and artificial
sweeteners.
You can ask your doctor for an infectious
disease screen and for a general
physical.
Good luck!
