Each month, a healthy woman under the age of 35, has a 25% chance of getting pregnant each month if she has sex during her ovulation. However, certain women are considerably more fertile than others, and their chances of each month can increase to 30-40%.
Before a woman decides that she wants to get pregnant, she should seek her medical practitioner. There are certain medical conditions that should be treated before pregnancy, such as anemia. Also, if a woman has a mental health issue, before pregnancy is a good time to manage any issues. Many medications cannot be taken during pregnancy, such as anti-anxiety medications, certain antibiotics, etc.
Many dental problems can complicate a pregnancy, and x-rays can be dangerous to the fetus. It is a good idea to have a dental check-up before a woman decides that she wishes to conceive. To fill a cavity or to get a root canal, many harmful medications need to be taken, but conversely, and infection can be dangerous to the mother and child as well.
The medical practitioner should prescribe a prenatal vitamin in order to prevent certain congenital birth defects. If a medical practitioner does not prescribe a prenatal vitamin for whatever reason, or if the woman decides that the co-pay is too much, she can always go to a local store and buy a non-prescription one over the counter. Ask you medical professional if a prescription one would be more beneficial for you. At Walmart, the average cost is less than $10 for a month supply, which is not bad considering that a good prenatal vitamin can prevent so many birth defects. Make sure that you take it each single day, preferably at the same time each day.
The woman should also change her diet in order to have a safe and healthy pregnancy such as eating wheat toast, orange juice, lots of protein. When deciding to become pregnant, this is a good time to start clearing out all the junk food in the fridge and the cabinets. A certain amount of junk food is okay, but it should be limited; think the food pyramid, use sparingly!
The woman (and man) should stop drinking and smoking for the time being. Most women do not know their pregnant for the first 6 weeks, and this is one of the most important developmental times during the pregnancy, and any toxins during this point, can have dire consequences for both mother and child.
