Me and my partener have decided we are ready to try for a baby in the new year. I currently have two children from a previous relationship, but this will be his first child. It has taken us a while to get to the point where I am ready for another baby (I really enjoy my job and I was worried about taking maternity leave and how that would effect my career and our finances). But we have now made the decision to have my coil taken out at the end of November! I plan to give my body 3 cycles to return to normal (I know it can take longer/shorter than this) then begin trying. I am a little concerened as it took me almost 2 years to conceive my youngest, so I plan to use the next few months to get my body/mind into the best place possible! Simple things to begin with; diet, exercise, sleep etc. And once the coil is out I will start on the folic acid. It feels like such a long time away but we have so much going on on the run up to Christmas I know it will be here in no time! Has anyone else planned when they are going to begin ttc super far in advance? Or are we just a little bit crazy?! Any advice/tips on other things I can be doing to get my body ready?
