We spend the majority of our lives actively avoiding pregnancy, so when the time finally arrives that you actually want to make a baby, it’s important to plan ahead.

 

If you’re someone who finds herself saying “I’ll get healthy when I’m pregnant”, this episode is for you because you really do need to start making healthy lifestyle changes before you get pregnant – 3 months to be exact.

 

Why 3 months? It takes 90 days for an egg to mature inside the follicles in the ovary before it is released at ovulation. For the boys, it takes 3 months for sperm cells to fully mature. By making lifestyle changes in the 3 months before actively trying to conceive, you’re making sure that your man has a stock of healthy, high quality mature sperm and that you’re creating the healthiest possible environment that encourages a fertilised egg to implant and develop into your baby. 



Here’s What We’re Talking About:

  • Why you need to plan ahead
  • What to talk about with your doctor
  • How to eliminate your exposure to potential nasties
  • Essential nutrients for pre-conception to include in your diet before pregnancy (and one in particular that will give him high quality, fast-swimming sperm)
  • Why creating a regular exercise habit now will serve you and your baby through your pregnancy and beyond
