How to prepare for pregnancy and what to eat

Many newlyweds plan to have children after getting married. Today, let's talk about what to eat when preparing for pregnancy and how to regulate your body if you want to get pregnant.

How to get pregnant quickly

1. Pre-pregnancy check-up

Before preparing for pregnancy, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a pre-pregnancy check to check for gynecological diseases.

The husband should go with you during the pre-pregnancy check-up because men are at the same risk of infertility.

At the same time, pre-pregnancy examination can also determine whether the two people have chromosomal abnormalities and the probability of giving birth to a healthy baby.

2. Sexual intercourse time

Couples who are planning to have a baby can choose to have sex between 5 and 7 p.m.

Because studies have found that the number of sperm reaches its peak during this period, making it easier for women to conceive.

3. Relieve stress

Modern women are under great work pressure, and the pressure from the elderly to have children often increases the stress, leading to endocrine disorders and affecting conception.

So keep a good mood, don't have too much pressure, and wait for the baby to be born naturally.

4. Sexual Positions

Adopting the correct sexual posture can also help sperm reach the female cervix quickly.

5. Best age for conception

Men are between 30 and 35 years old, and women are between 25 and 30 years old.

Especially for women, it is best not to choose to be an older mother. Firstly, the quality of eggs is not as good as before, and secondly, the pregnancy process for older mothers is also more dangerous.

Things to note during pregnancy preparation

1. Pay attention to your diet

During the pregnancy preparation period, you must eat less spicy, raw, cold and irritating foods to avoid disrupting the normal functioning of the endocrine system.

At the same time, you should also eat less high-calorie, high-fat, and high-sugar foods, as many complications during pregnancy are related to these three types of food.

In addition, foods that have no nutrition and are harmful to the body, such as pickled foods, alcohol, canned foods, etc., should be avoided.

2. Get enough sleep

If you are planning to have a baby, stop being a night owl. Staying up late will damage your energy and reproductive organs such as the ovaries and uterus, which is not conducive to pregnancy.

3. Keep exercising

You must exercise every day, but it doesn’t mean the more you exercise, the better. Don’t schedule strenuous exercise for yourself every day.

The best state is to do aerobic exercise for about 20 minutes every day.

Finally, during the pregnancy preparation period, you must change your bad living habits and maintain a happy mood until the baby is born.

What to eat when preparing for pregnancy

1. Black bean benefits

To supplement estrogen, soak some black beans in water for about 12 hours, then cook them in water until they are cooked. You can add a little salt. From the first day after the end of menstruation, eat 47 beans a day for 6 consecutive days. For people with kidney deficiency like me, the doctor recommended that I eat it every day, grab a handful every day, about 40-50 beans. After eating it for a period of time, I obviously felt much better with back pain and better body temperature.

2. Donkey-hide gelatin and red dates

It is more suitable for women with Qi and blood deficiency. It is mainly used to treat symptoms such as scanty menstruation, irregular color, dizziness, cold hands and feet, etc. Qi and blood deficiency will affect conception. Use a spoon to scoop a spoonful of it into a cup you usually drink water (it is hard to scoop) and add hot water to drink. If you drink it in the office for a day, you will feel warm all over.

3. Red Sugar Ginger Water

Warm the uterus. For those with uterine cold, use 250 grams of brown sugar, 150 grams of ginger and water. Chop the ginger into small pieces, steam it for 30 minutes, and divide it into 7 portions. Take it for 7 consecutive days starting from the second day after the menstruation is over. It is best to take it on an empty stomach in the morning. Do not have sex with your husband during these 7 days, and then be together again after 7 days. Remind sisters to pay attention, because YJ takes about five days, and taking this for seven days, so it takes a total of 12 days. If you are having PL on the 15th day, let your LG first expel sperm by himself, roughly about seven days before PL, otherwise the sperm may age.

Red sugar ginger water is hot in nature, so it is generally not consumed during menstruation, as it will increase menstrual flow. In other words, it can be consumed during non-menstrual periods, and can be consumed before the next menstrual period, and it can also be used to nourish the body for the next menstrual period. It is very suitable for sisters with cold body and cold uterus. As for sisters with hot body and dryness, it depends on the situation. After all, after menstruation, blood needs to be replenished. Simple brown sugar water is enough. Don't take too much to replenish blood, otherwise you will get pimples and nosebleeds!

4. Angelica and honeysuckle soup

Drink the soup, eat the red dates, black beans, and eggs. Remember to take it on the first day of menstruation. This is a must. (You don't have to take it right after bleeding starts. You can take it about half a day after bleeding.)

5. Fish soup

Around the time of ovulation, women's leucorrhea becomes more and more transparent, like clear nasal discharge, and can be drawn into threads. This kind of leucorrhea is conducive to conception, but some women have less transparent leucorrhea, or it is very turbid, which is not conducive to pregnancy. This dietary therapy is good for increasing transparent and stringy leucorrhea, and it will also be of great help to some friends with poor follicle development, without any toxic side effects.

6. Soy milk

Women who drink 300-500 ml of soy milk every day for a month can adjust their endocrine system and significantly improve their mentality and physical fitness.

7. Shrimp warms the kidneys
