Conception Tips 

It is well accepted that our lifestyle can influence our chances of conceiving and giving birth to a healthy, properly developed baby.

An abusive lifestyle could diminish a woman’s as well as a man’s fertility and increase the chances of birth defects.

When you decide it’s time you started trying to conceive, it’s worth evaluating a few things related to your overall lifestyle.

  • Are you eating properly? Are you taking the necessary amount of vitamins and nutrients?
  • Are you smoking?
  • Are you taking drugs?
  • Are you drinking excessively?
  • Are you over/underweight?
  • Do you exercise enough?
  • Do you have high levels of stress?
  • Do you have a healthy sexual life?

If you are happy with the answers given above, then you realise a common sense and a moderate approach to things are probably what’s needed to lead a healthy lifestyle.
