Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of coldness. Can I drink coffee before getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's best not to drink. Pay attention to pre-pregnancy preparation:1. Physical Preparation. As a woman of childbearing age, you should undergo pre-pregnancy examinations and consultations at a regular hospital to check if your current physical condition is suitable for pregnancy and if it’s the best time to conceive.
2. Nutritional Preparation. You should take folic acid in small doses three months before pregnancy. This is mainly to reduce the risk of neural tube defects in the fetus.
3. Lifestyle Preparation. Both partners should start correcting unhealthy living and dietary habits six months before pregnancy. Avoid picky eating. Eat a wide variety of foods. Consume more high-quality protein foods, vegetables, and fruits. Three months before pregnancy, avoid alcohol and coffee. Quit smoking. Also, avoid exposure to toxic substances and radiation sources. Quit alcohol, tea, and prevent colds. Avoid spicy foods. Choose the right time to conceive when both of you are at your physical, mental, and intellectual peak.
