About to embark on the road of test tubes.
Many expectant fathers and mothers-to-be before surrogacy.
Will go around "learning from experience" and want to know what you can do to prepare before you get pregnant? What can be done to make the road to fertility smoother? Here are 10 tips to share with you.
I believe it will be helpful to you
01 Prepare with materials.
Prepare the original ID cards and marriage certificates of both parties (required for the establishment of the file, the day of egg retrieval, and the day of transplantation), and make sure that the ID cards are within the validity period. If your ID card expires, please renew it in time.
02 Have a regular schedule.
Maintaining a good routine is essential for good health. Nighttime is usually recommended to be between 7 and 8 hours of sleep, and ensuring adequate rest is good for both physical and mental health. A regular routine can improve sleep quality, boost immunity, improve mental health, and help maintain weight and regulate metabolism.
03 Dietary nutrition.
The food is varied, reasonably matched, and eaten regularly. Choosing foods rich in high-quality protein, such as eggs, milk, fish, shrimp, chicken, duck, goose, pigs, beef and sheep and other lean meats, legumes and their products, combined with other nutrient-rich ingredients, can help maintain good health and meet daily energy needs.
04 Hydrate.
Ensure adequate water intake (1500 to 1700 ml per day). It can help maintain fluid balance, promote metabolism, eliminate metabolic waste products from the body, and maintain the normal functioning of organs. In addition, couples trying to conceive should pay attention to reducing the intake of caffeinated beverages such as strong tea and strong coffee. Excessive caffeine intake may affect the normal functioning of the reproductive system and make it more difficult to get pregnant.
05 Quit smoking and drinking.
Start quitting smoking and alcohol at least 3 months before you try to get pregnant. Both smoking and alcohol abuse have been shown to be strongly associated with infertility and fertility problems. Smoking can damage the quality of your eggs and sperm, which can affect the likelihood of conception, and even if you are pregnant, you may increase the risk of miscarriage and other complications. Quit smoking and alcohol at least 3 months in advance to allow the body sufficient time to recover, remove harmful substances from the body, improve the quality of eggs and sperm, thereby improving the quality of embryos and increasing the chance of successful conception.
06 Exercise regularly.
Maintain a healthy body weight (BMI: 18 24 kg m2), avoid sedentary lifestyle, and exercise at least 5 days a week at a moderate intensity for more than 30 minutes at a time. Such as brisk walking, dancing, swimming, playing badminton, doing household chores such as cleaning windows, mopping floors, etc. Regular exercise can promote the body's metabolism, delay the decline of all aspects of the body's functions, and significantly reduce the incidence of various complications such as hypertension and diabetes during pregnancy.
07 Use drugs with caution.
Many medications can adversely affect pregnancy and embryonic development, so medications should be avoided as much as possible while trying to conceive, especially without a doctor's guidance. If you do feel unwell and need to take medication, be sure to use it under the guidance of your doctor and inform your doctor of your plans to try to conceive. The doctor will consider your needs to prepare for pregnancy and choose a drug or method that is less risky to the embryo and pregnancy.
08 No hair dyeing, no perm.
Exposure to chemicals should be avoided during pregnancy, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.
The chemicals used to dye your hair can have a negative effect on sperm and egg quality, as well as on your baby.
09 Folic acid supplementation.
Folic acid must be supplemented in advance!
Folic acid supplementation 3 months in advance and throughout pregnancy is generally recommended to help prevent fetal neural tube defects. In addition, folic acid supplementation also aids in protein metabolism and, together with vitamin B12, promotes the production and maturation of red blood cells.
10. Healthy Psychology.
Maintaining a healthy psychological state, avoiding excessive mental tension and anxiety, mental health is closely related to fertility, and maintaining a relaxed and happy mood is an indispensable factor for the success of fertility. Therefore, before helping to conceive, you should try to learn self-regulation, improve your understanding of infertility, obtain the support of your family, and cooperate with the hospital's best to welcome the arrival of your baby.
I hope that every pair of "expectant parents" can usher in their own good "pregnancy" as soon as possible.
