Develop good eating habits: The diet should be varied and nutritious. Good dietary habits before pregnancy are the key to conceiving a healthy baby. In the first three months of pregnancy, the parents-to-be should pay attention to the diversification of diet, strengthen reasonable nutrition, eat more food that is beneficial to the body, such as food rich in high-quality protein, vitamins and trace elements, do not eat junk food, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, so as to prepare the nutritional reserves for conception. Folic acid supplementation three months in advance: Folic acid is an essential vitamin that plays an extremely important role in cell division and tissue growth. Deficiency of folic acid in early pregnancy can lead to neural tube abnormalities in the fetus. Couples planning a pregnancy are advised to consume a multivitamin containing 0.4 mg of folic acid daily starting in the first trimester and continuing until the second trimester of pregnancy. Generally, folic acid supplementation should not exceed 1 mg per day in addition to the diet. For people at high risk (e.g., epilepsy, diabetes, excessive obesity, family history of neural tube abnormalities), folic acid is recommended under medical supervision. Besides taking folic acid tablets orally, you can also get folic acid from foods such as poultry eggs, animal liver, nuts, beans and soy products, and leafy vegetables (cauliflower, spinach, cilantro). Develop good habits and exercise regularly: Try not to stay up late, go to bed early and get up early. At the same time, exercise regularly to enhance physical fitness, such as jogging in the morning, walking in the evening, and going outdoors to breathe fresh air. In addition, before preparing for pregnancy most avoid smoking and drinking, tobacco and alcohol contain a variety of harmful substances, which not only trigger sexual dysfunction, reduce fertility, affect the success rate of conception, affect the quality of fertilized eggs and embryos, but also have an impact on the future development of the baby’s health. Therefore, one of the precautions to take before getting pregnant is to stop smoking and drinking 3 months before conception. Maintain a good mental state before conception: Women’s mental stress, nervousness and anxiety can also affect the endocrine state in the body, thus affecting the normal ovulation and reducing the success rate of conception. Therefore, it is better for mothers-to-be to keep a relaxed and happy mood, which will be more helpful for conceiving a healthy baby. Say goodbye to contraception: If you are using the pill, the patch or the IUD, it is best to have at least one normal menstrual cycle after stopping the pill before preparing for pregnancy. If you are using hormonal injections, it is recommended that you wait a year for normal ovulation again, even if your period returns early after stopping the injections. Targeted preconception checkups: Preconception checkups are designed to achieve eugenics and are different from ordinary physical checkups and are more targeted to reduce the chance of fetal birth defects. If you are an older woman or have a history of miscarriage, you should not neglect this part. Preconception checkups are usually performed 3 to 6 months before you are ready to get pregnant. Don’t neglect the following special medical examinations: 1. Reproductive system examination: mainly to check for gynecological diseases, including routine gynecological examination, ultrasound, gynecological endocrine examination, routine white belt examination, mycoplasma and chlamydia examination, gonorrhea, syphilis and AIDS examination, and preferably a simple cervical scraping examination. 2, breast examination: the best time to check is after menstruation, mainly to understand whether there are breast diseases, so as to achieve early treatment, ready for breastfeeding, and early detection of some diseases affecting women’s health. 3.Eugenics test and immune antibody test: The so-called eugenics test refers to the antibody test for toxoplasma, rubella virus, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus and other viruses that affect eugenics. All of these viruses may cause intrauterine infection and result in fetal malformations or functional defects. If pregnancy occurs during the infected period or during early pregnancy, it will have a great impact on the embryo, often leading directly to the occurrence of miscarriage. Moreover, the results of eugenics tests done before pregnancy can also help determine if there is an intrauterine infection during pregnancy later on. For mothers-to-be who love small animals, if you have pets at home, it is better not to have too close contact with them, remember to wash your hands after each petting and keep a safe distance from them, and it is better to bring them to be checked for toxoplasmosis. Immune antibody tests can rule out immune infertility, mainly containing anti-sperm antibodies, anti-endometrial antibodies and anti-ovarian antibodies. 4. Oral examination: If you don’t protect your teeth before pregnancy, you may suffer from it during pregnancy. The hormonal changes in the body during pregnancy will make the gums more fragile and easily swollen, bleeding and painful, and at this time the medication has an impact on the fetus, treatment is tricky, and the ultimate sufferer is still the pregnant mother and baby. Therefore, it is necessary to go to the dentistry department within 6 months before pregnancy to do a thorough oral examination and necessary treatment, and receive health guidance from the oral surgeon. 5.Chromosome and blood group: For couples with a family history of certain genetic diseases, miscarriage and hemolysis of newborns, it is very necessary to do this examination in order to detect chromosomal diseases and blood group incompatibility of couples at an early stage. 6.Some routine examinations: including routine blood test, coagulation test, blood sedimentation, hepatitis B marker test, liver function, kidney function, insulin, fasting blood sugar, blood lipid, urine routine, heart ultrasound, electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, etc. The father-to-be should not be left out of the pre-conception check-ups, because a healthy baby requires not only healthy eggs, but also healthy sperm. In addition to routine blood, stool, electrocardiogram, hepatitis B marker test, liver function, chromosomal and blood type tests, urinary system examination and routine semen examination are also required. You may think that preparing for pregnancy is tedious, but in fact, everyone can do it easily: good diet and resting habits, moderate exercise, happy mood, plus proper preconception medical checkups, and if you have done the above, you can enjoy the journey of preparing for pregnancy! We wish every couple of parents-to-be a good pregnancy!
