TTC - What tips have you got?

[NoDontLickThat]

DP and I are going to start TTC, we are quite confident that we'll be able to conceive as we're both very fertile, but what tips does anyone have for a healthy pregnancy?

Erm. If you want pregnancy tips I'd suggest the pregnancy forum. Have a look round conception, there's not a whole lot of very fertile people hanging out here

Hth

Thanks sinking, I'll try and get the thread moved.

conception tip - have sex. Lots of it. preferably during your fertile time.

Pregnancy tip - don't smoke, give up crack cocaine, avoid alcohol.

That's about it really.

You forgot to mention bungee jumping and scuba diving kat . Both also best avoided during pregnancy.

Pickle - LOL at the scuba. My DH and I had been TTC for a few months, we didn't think anything was happening and accepted it might take us a bit longer, so we went ahead and booked a scuba course - what do you think happened next?!

scuba diving and bungee jumping made me lol, but I'm still not sold on giving up crack cocaine, I've still got to have my little pleasures!!

Dp and I both have children of our own from previous relationships, both with special needs, dp's beautiful little girl is severely disabled too, I know it probably wasn't the pregnancy that caused any sn and noone was to blame but I'm really worried this time around about doing anything 'wrong', even eating the wrong thing whilst ttc, iykwim? I guess I should just relax a bit though and stop trying to guilt myself before I've even taken a pregnancy test!

What about folic acid/ pregnancy vitamins? Try to take them before TTC so that you've got your bases covered.

Thanks Dilemma, I was thinking about going to Boots and seeing what pregnancy vitamins they had to maybe get a headstart.

Have fun!!!
