When you’re trying to conceive and getting pregnant takes longer than you’d expect, it can be so frustrating.  Here are my top tips for couples to get pregnancy ready…
1. Lifestyle habits, diet, weight, exercise habits & motivation. Reduce alcohol intake and stop smoking. Healthy eating and regular exercise will kick start you onto the right path for a healthy pregnancy.
2. Sex and libido suffer when the pressure to conceive mounts. This is often overlooked by couple enmeshed in IVF. Do you know how often to have sex when trying to conceive? Experts recommend every other day during the 6 days leading up to ovulation.
4. Stress in life is normal, it’s is how we react and deal with it that counts. Learn Mindfulness to help you cope with life’s regular stress – how to park it, compartmentalize it and enjoy as much  life as much as possible.
5. Are you both ready to become parents? It may be an obvious question but are you sure that you both want the same things – that you’re ready to be parents. What do you expect from each other – have you discussed the changes that parenting will bring to your relationship?
Discussion and planning at this stage prepares you for life as a parent with realistic expectations.
6. Trying to conceive after miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy can be very worrying. How can you stay positive and reduce the fear that it might happen again?
7. Trying to conceive a second baby it is not always plain sailing. So many things may have shifted and changed so making sure that you are both in tip-top condition is vital.
