Trying to concieve.... (original) (raw)
September 26 2004, 23:01
Hi girls,
My names Melissa. My fiance' and I have decided that we want to try and concieve within about three months. I'm looking for any advice I can get about pre-pregnancy care, diet, lifestyle, etc.
A few things to consider:
- In June, I miscarried three months into my first pregnancy. We believe it was due to stress (my mother, namely....) or physical activity (right after I saw my Dr., I started bleeding and was put on 7 days of strict bed rest.... on day nine or ten, I got up and went to the grocery store, and started bleeding heavily which led to a miscarriage)
- I have quit smoking/drinking
- I have started a Yoga routine twice a week, and I walk/jog two or three days a week for about 30 minutes.
- I am a octo-lovo vegetarian (I eat poultry, and meat byproducts like eggs and milk, but no pork, beef, veal, etc.)
So, with all that aside, do any of you have any reccomendations of how I can get my body and mind into top condition to be able to support a pregnancy??
Thanks so much!!!
