When to have, a baby is the piece of decision you need to evaluate properly. It can be an exciting and an enjoyable time for a couple. For most of them getting pregnant is not a difficult task. For some, it happens quickly, whereas for others it may take a tinge longer.

Your chances of a healthy pregnancy and the overall well being of the baby is better if you and your partner are healthy and fine. What you eat, what you drink and whether you are into smoke or drinks are important points of consideration when you are planning to have a baby. If you are concerned about your sexual health, then get a checkup done to figure out whether you do not have any sexually transmitted infections or not.

Some lifestyle changes

Planning for pregnancy also requires you to make some alterations as far as your lifestyle is concerned. Both you and your partner should undertake regular exercise so that you are both healthy and fine. Even if you are not into too much exercise, now is the right time to start one.

Once you have become pregnant, you should avoid exercises which take a toll on your abdomen like martial arts. Extra care should be taken so that the risk of falling or losing your balance reduces considerably.

Vitamin D

Women who are confined to their homes or are properly confined to the interiors of their homes would need adequate exposure to vitamin D. In this regard, you would need to seek advice from your doctor.

Smoking

It is a strict no and if you and your partner are into it the chances of fertility reduces considerably. It is one of the most important things that you can do for yourself along with the baby in the stomach.
