Preparing for pregnancy
I'm a loser for even asking this question seeing this would be baby number 3.
I was always loosey goosey about all the rules during pregnancy and ttc but my second baby was born premature for reasons we still don't know. I want to be the healthiest place possible before we start trying in approx 6 months.
What did you do to get ready for ttc? Tia!

Re: Preparing for pregnancy
i take prenatals from Rainbow lite for 35+ women; i was seeing a naturopath in helping ease some of my mid cycle symptoms and take flax seed oil pills, primrose oil.
I need to add DHA pills in there as they are essential fatty acids and very good to take while TTC and while pregnant.

Can you tell me more about mid cycle symptoms you are having? Do those things work? I'm off the pill and a total super *****. My hormones have always made me like this so I'm much better on the pill.

Re: Preparing for pregnancy
really moody, really sore boobs, bloating and acne are the biggest issues.
Dr. has me on an alternating seed diet. Days 1-14 Im to include flax seed (2tbsp) in my food; Days 15-28 I switch to SUNFLOWER seeds. I was also taking something called Sepia pellets.
She then had me add in the flax seed oil caps days 1-14 and Primrose oil caps 15-28;
(granted I've fallen off the wagon the past month with everything going on. Im getting back on track).
I also had a case of MRSA that went undiagnosed for months and was on heavy duty meds once it was diagnosed. The problem was that it was re-occuring every month 3 days before my period. they are very painful blisters that appear. and the naturopath helped me with that too.
I highly recommend finding one in you area even for TTC issues.

It is a TTC-safe lube. I picked it up at Walgreen's but I have seen it in other stores also.

Re: Preparing for pregnancy
DH and I plan to start TTC in a few months. I'm trying to lose some weight prior to getting pregnant. I don't need to lose much - maybe 15 lbs. but I feel like I need to be at my healthiest before getting pregnant and right now I'm not there yet.

Re: Preparing for pregnancy
Besides being sure you are healthy, taking prenatals and trying to reduce stress if you have it, you should be good to go.
