What are the precautions to be taken before pregnancy?

Patient's question:

What should be paid attention to before pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

1. Track your ovulation period
You should be aware that the ovulation period is the best time to get pregnant. The methods to help determine ovulation typically involve measuring body temperature and observing changes in cervical mucus. During ovulation, your body temperature will slightly increase, and cervical mucus will become more elastic and slippery.
2. Regular sexual intercourse
Regular sexual intercourse can help increase the chances of getting pregnant. Moreover, the best way is to enjoy intimate life without pressure.
3. Healthy diet and regular exercise
A woman's diet has a direct impact on her fertility. Therefore, maintaining a balanced and nutritious diet can help increase the chances of getting pregnant. Daily meals should include foods such as grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, and dairy products to ensure you get the necessary vitamins and minerals.
Regular exercise is not only beneficial for overall health but also helps maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight or underweight can directly affect your fertility.
