I was just wondering whether there was anyone else out there who is planning to TTC baby #1 in December 2009 and if so, what have you started doing to prepare yourself for conception?
I'd love to hear from anyone who would be able to share any tips.
I'm probably silly since I'm not going to be TTC until mid December this year, but I'm already soooooooo excited and can't wait! I've dreamt of having a baby for years and finally the time is coming near... :dance:
The only thing my GP recommended doing was to take Elevit for 3 months before conception. She also checked my immunity to things like rubella and chicken pox. I highly recommend doing that early because if you need to take a vaccine you may have to wait 1-3 months to TTC after it.
In addition I guess there's eating healthy, exercise, etc. You could also consider doing some acupuncture if you were really serious about it. And I'm sure there's other things too. If you're not on the pill you could start charting BBT's so that you have a good understanding of your cycle when you're ready to TTC.
Eggs and sperm take about 4 months to be made by your bodies so now is a great time for you to be asking these questions.
