6 important things you should do before getting pregnant

6 important things you should do before getting pregnant

1.Speak to your healthcare provider

Once you have decided that you are ready to start a family, you need to make an appointment with your healthcare provider. Your doctor will guide you into having a healthy pregnancy. This is the perfect time, where you can ask your doctor about anything that you want regarding getting pregnant. Do not hold back!

Making an appointment with your doctor is a very important step to take.  If you are taking any medications, your doctor will advise you to either stop it completely or lower your dose. These are all important things that needs to be taken care of in order for you to start the process of getting pregnant.

2. Stop using birth control

Another important thing that you are going to stop doing is taking your birth control. Wether that is, the pills, shot, or if you have an IUD, it needs to be removed before you even think about trying to get pregnant. Also, if you have been on the pill for a a long time (a couple of years), your body needs time to re-adjust to it’s normal self.

This mean that you will probably have to wait a couple of months in order for you to start the process of getting pregnant. Why? well, now you are going to track your period post pill and also track down when you ovulate. To have a better understanding of your menstrual cycle after the pill will take a month or two.

3. Stop your bad habits

A very very important thing you should do before getting pregnant is to stop your bad habits. For example, if you are a smoker, even an occasional smoker, you need to stop. You can definitely ask your doctor for help if you can’t stop cold turkey. If you drink alcohol, you need to stop way before getting pregnant. And of course if you use drugs, please stop right now, it’s not healthy for you and it will definitely not be healthy for your soon to be baby.

Smoking, doing drugs and drinking alcohol during your pregnancy can cause birth defect to your child. Also, it can also put your baby at a greater risk of Sudden Infant Death. Please take care of yourself and your unborn baby by making smart healthy decisions.

4. Healthy lifestyle

I recommend you to start having a healthier lifestyle the minute that you decide to get pregnant. This includes, eating healthier by eliminating greasy and fattening food. I mean, not completely let’s be serious, you can enjoy a good juicy burger but not everyday! Start incorporating exercise into your daily activity as this can make you feel good during your pregnancy and have an easier labor.

5. Start taking prenatal vitamins

Start taking your prenatal vitamins girl! Yes, you can start taking prenatal vitamins even before you get pregnant. This will help you have the essential vitamins and minerals you need already in your body. Also, another important reason is that prenatal vitamins contain folic acid, which can prevent birth defects. Taking your prenatal vitamins before and during your pregnancy greatly reduces this risk.

6. Is your partner on the same page as you?

This is a very important question to ask yourself before getting pregnant. Is your partner as ready as you are to start a family? Just because you are ready it doesn’t mean that your partner is. So, take your time to speak with your partner about your feelings towards starting a family. Explain to your partner about why you think you are ready and let him/her also have a say in this decision. It is best if you are both on the same page because you are going to enjoy your pregnancy and be happy and so will your partner.

Quick recap:

Being ready and knowing that you have made a very important decision to start a family is very exciting. You are going to be a mom for the first time! Even if you think that you only have to do the deed with your partner and boom! you’re pregnant, there’s so much more to it than just that. There are questions to be answered, for example, is your partner ready? Was it a mutual agreement to start a family? Once the answer is yes, then there are other things to take care of. 

You need to immediately call your health care provider and set up an appointment with them. Your doctor will guide you the best way he/she can in order for you to have a healthy and happy pregnancy. If you are taking any medication, your doctor will decide if you should stop it completely  or lower your dose. If you’re using any birth control method, you will have to stop taking it and concentrate on stopping your bad habits (if you have any). You can start having a healthier lifestyle buy incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your diet and exercising more.

I really hope you found this article helpful in knowing what are some of the important things that you should do before getting pregnant. Good luck mama!

Finalmente estás lista para formar una familia y quedar embarazada. ¡que bueno! Felicitaciones por esta increíble y gran decisión. A pesar de que puedas pensar que realmente no hay mucho que hacer solo hacer el acto. Tengo noticias para ti mamá, hay algunas cosas importantes que debes hacer antes de quedar embarazada. Piénsalo, vas a tener un pequeño ser humano dentro de ti que necesita cuidado, amor y atención. Para poder brindarle todo eso a tu bebé, primero debes cuidarte a tí misma.

Tomar decisiones importantes e inteligentes antes de quedar embarazada realmente ayudará en tu viaje de quedar embarazada. Estarás en camino de tener un embarazo feliz y saludable. Estoy tan feliz de compartir contigo estas 6 cosas importantes que deben hacer antes de quedar embarazada, para prepararte y brindarte ideas útiles. Recuerde que estar embarazada es un viaje muy especial y bendecido en la vida de una mujer. Disfrútelo tomando mejores decisiones antes de quedar embarazada.

Espero que puedas tomar estos consejos en consideración y ¡buena suerte mamá!

6 cosas importantes que debes hacer antes de quedar embarazada

1. Hable con su proveedor de atención médica

Una vez que hayas decidido que estás lista para formar una familia, debe programar una cita con tu proveedor de atención médica. Su médico te guiará a tener un embarazo saludable. Este es el momento perfecto, donde puedes preguntarle a tu médico sobre cualquier cosa que desee con respecto a quedar embarazada. ¡No te contengas!

Hacer una cita con tu médico es un paso muy importante a seguir. Si estás tomando algún medicamento, su médico te aconsejará que lo suspenda por completo o que disminuya la dosis. Todas estas son cosas importantes que debes hacer atendidas para que puedas comenzar el proceso de quedar embarazada.

2. Deje de usar anticonceptivos

Otra cosa importante que dejarás de hacer es tomar tu anticonceptivos. Ya sea que se trate de pastillas, inyecciones, o si tiene un IUD, debe ser retirado antes de siquiera pensar en tratar de quedar embarazada. Además, si ha tomado la pastilla durante mucho tiempo (un par de años), su cuerpo necesita tiempo para reajustarse a su normalidad.

Esto significa que probablemente tendrás que esperar un par de meses para que comience el proceso de quedar embarazada. ¿Por qué? Bueno, ahora vas a rastrear tu período y también rastrear cuando ovulas. Para tener una mejor comprensión de tu ciclo menstrual después de la píldora tomará un mes o dos.

3. Detenga sus malos hábitos

Una cosa muy importante que debes hacer antes de quedar embarazada es dejar tus malos hábitos. Por ejemplo, si usted es fumador, incluso un fumador ocasional, debe dejarlo. Definitivamente, puedes pedirle ayuda a tu médico si no puedes dejar de fumar a solas. Si bebes alcohol, debe dejarlo antes de quedar embarazada. Y, por supuesto, si usas drogas, deténgase ahora mismo, no es saludable para ti y definitivamente no será saludable para tu futuro bebé.

Fumar, consumir drogas y beber alcohol durante el embarazo pueden causarle defectos de nacimiento a su hijo. Además, también puede poner a su bebé en mayor riesgo de muerte súbita infantil. Cuídese a usted misma y a tu bebé tomando decisiones inteligentes y saludables.

4. Estilo de vida saludable

Te recomiendo que comiences a tener un estilo de vida más saludable en el momento en que decidas quedar embarazada. Esto incluye, comer más saludable al eliminar los alimentos grasos y que engorden. Quiero decir, no completamente porque si puedes disfrutar de una buena hamburguesa jugosa pero no todos los días. Comience a incorporar el ejercicio en su actividad diaria, ya que puede hacerlo sentir bien durante el embarazo y tener un parto más fácil.

5. Comience a tomar vitaminas prenatales

Comience a tomar su vitaminas prenatales! Sí, puedes comenzar a tomar vitaminas prenatales incluso antes de quedar embarazada. Esto te ayudará a tener las vitaminas y minerales esenciales que necesitas en tu cuerpo. Además, otra razón importante es que las vitaminas prenatales contienen ácido fólico, que puede prevenir los defectos de nacimiento. Tomar sus vitaminas prenatales antes y durante su embarazo reduce en gran medida este riesgo.

6. ¿Tu pareja está en la misma página que tú?

Esta es una pregunta muy importante que debes hacerte antes de quedar embarazada. ¿Tu pareja está tan preparado como tú para formar una familia? El hecho de que estés listo no significa que tu pareja sí lo esté. Por lo tanto, tómese su tiempo para hablar con su pareja sobre sus sentimientos hacia el inicio de una familia. Explíquele a su compañero por qué cree que estás lista y permita que él / ella también participe de esta decisión. Es mejor si ambos están en la misma página porque vas a disfrutar de tu embarazo y ser feliz, al igual que tu pareja.

Recapitulación rápida:

Estar preparada y saber que has tomado una decisión muy importante para formar una familia es muy emocionante. ¡Serás madre por primera vez! ¡Incluso si piensas que solo tienes que hacer el acto con tu pareja y boom! estás embarazada, hay mucho más que solo eso. Hay preguntas para responder, por ejemplo, ¿está lista su pareja? ¿Fue un acuerdo mutuo comenzar una familia? Una vez que la respuesta es sí, hay otras cosas de las que ocuparse.

Debe llamar inmediatamente a su proveedor de atención médica y programar una cita con ellos. Su médico te guiará de la mejor manera posible para que usted tenga un embarazo saludable y feliz. Si estás tomando algún medicamento, su médico decidirá si debe suspenderlo por completo o disminuir la dosis. Si estás usando algún método anticonceptivo, deberá dejar de tomarlo y concentrarse en dejar sus malos hábitos (si tiene alguno). Puede comenzar a tener un estilo de vida más saludable al incorporar más frutas y verduras en su dieta y hacer más ejercicio.

Realmente espero que este artículo te haya resultado útil para saber cuáles son algunas de las cosas importantes que debes hacer antes de quedar embarazada. Buena suerte, mamá!

 Hugs, Ros Emely

    En un post anterior les platicaba sobre los mitos de los métodos anticonceptivos y mi experiencia con ellos. Ahorita tengo casi 4 meses de embarazo, y la verdad, aunque muchos me dijeron que iba a batallar para embarazarme por usar métodos anticonceptivos tanto tiempo, no nos pasó.
