Diet and Health

If you are healthy and wanting to become pregnant, you can easily calculate the best days for conception and increase your probability of becoming pregnant quickly.

If you are not healthy or do not have regular periods you may first want to work on getting healthy.  Having a regular period is a sign of good health.  Not having a regular period should be discussed with your doctor,  so that you can figure out what is the cause.

The first step all women of child bearing age should do is begin taking a folic acid supplement.  Folic acid is crucial in the first stages of pregnancy and the development of a healthy baby.  Folic acid is needed before you even know that you are pregnant, so you must begin taking it before you try or even if you are not trying but are in your child bearing years.

To calculate your  most fertile days of the  month first locate the date of the first day of your last period.  Next add 14 days to that date.  Your most fertile days will be the next three days.

The answer is no.  There has been a lot of press lately about multiple births and reality TV shows.  Don’t start thinking that this may be your claim to fame.

Multiple birth pregnancies are very dangerous for both the mother and the babies.  The more babies, the more dangers.  Many multiple births end with multiple birth defects for the children and sometimes death for the mother.  This is a very risky procedure.  Now days, most reputable doctors will not put more than two embryos into a mother.  They know the dangers.

Sometimes the babies may seem healthy at first and then they have problems later on or learning disabilities.

There is also the cost of diapers, clothing, medical care and formula.  These items can be dibilitating for some families.  It may seem like a parade when you see it on television but in real life, you do not receive as much help as you think and if you do not have five or more in your clan, you will not get much help from anyone.

Can you just imagine how many hands you would need to take care of the group.  You and your husband will not be enough.  Care takers will not be there around the clock, so there will be many hours of the night where you do not have any help at all.
