In the life of every family, sooner or later there comes a moment when both spouses begin to dream of children. And in order for the news about pregnancy not to be taken by surprise, you need to approach this moment with all responsibility, choosing the best time to conceive a child.
If we talk about the age of a woman, then the optimal period will be from 21 to 27 years. At this point, the reproductive system is already fully formed, the hormonal background is stable, and the body is young and full of strength. This is the best time to conceive a baby. However, this does not mean that after 28 years, a woman has no chance of becoming a mother. Later motherhood, of course, is fraught with various complications, but not always.
It is believed that the time of the year also plays a role in the course of the entire pregnancy. There is an opinion that the best time for conceiving a child is the last months of summer and the beginning of autumn. A lot of sun, the presence of fresh vegetables and fruits (and therefore vitamins), a good mood, the absence of epidemics - all this in the most favorable way affects the health of a couple dreaming of a baby, and significantly increases the chances of a successful conception. But at the beginning of spring it is extremely undesirable to become pregnant, because during the winter the body weakens and gets tired.
A good time to conceive a child is right after vacation. Because it is better to abstain in front of him or during pregnancy. Since changing belts, flights, outdoor activities, extreme entertainment, alcohol and sleepless nights can negatively affect the development of the fetus. But on arrival, rested and happy husband and wife can with a calm heart begin to plan a baby.
As for the preparation for pregnancy itself, it consists in the following:
- First you need to get the "go-ahead" from your doctor - take smears, tests for sexually transmitted infections, do an ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs and exclude possible health problems.
- At least three months before the planned conception, the use of strong alcoholic beverages should be excluded and smoking and drugs should be abandoned.
- Limit intake of too oily and salty foods.
- If possible, it is necessary to observe a healthy lifestyle and take walks in the fresh air.
- It will be useful to limit communication with unpleasant people and the absence of stress.
- Folic acid and vitamin E will not hurt.
A woman can monitor her feelings during her menstrual cycle, since it is possible to determine the time of conception by indirect signs. So, with an ideal cycle (28 days), ovulation occurs 13-15 days after the onset of menstruation. This is the best time to conceive a child. It should be borne in mind that sperm can survive in a woman’s environment for up to seven days, but the viability of the egg remains for a day. Church ovulation reminiscent of egg white, as well as mild pain in the lower abdomen, can hint about the approach of ovulation to a woman.
You can plan the time of year, the zodiac sign and even the gender of the child. But, believe me, no matter what your plans and desires, the baby will choose when it comes to your life.
