Wonderful! If you\u2019re still in the considering or trying phase, you\u2019ve got time to prepare for a healthy pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want mom to be as healthy as possible before she conceives,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/provider\/natalie-rochester-md-obstetrics-and-gynecology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Natalie Rochester<\/a>, an OB\/GYN at UCHealth OB\/GYN who delivers babies at Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland. \u201cThat means eating a healthy diet and exercising at least 30 minutes a day and having all of your medical problems under excellent control before trying to conceive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prenatal vitamins are also \u201csuper-duper important,\u201d said Rochester. \u201cStarting a couple of months before you begin trying to get pregnant, women should be taking prenatal vitamins with folic acid. The vitamins lower the risk of birth defects.\u201d You can buy prenatal vitamins over-the-counter, or you can get a prescription from your doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, know what to expect when you do start trying to get pregnant. \u201cMany women think they\u2019ll get pregnant quickly and are surprised when they don\u2019t,\u201d said Rochester. \u201cIt often takes a number of months. In fact, only 85 percent of women with no infertility issues will be pregnant within a year, even if they\u2019ve been having timed and frequent sex.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been trying to conceive for a while without success, Rochester suggests keeping an ovulation calendar. \u201cA lot of people don\u2019t understand their menstrual cycles and when they can get pregnant,\u201d said Rochester. \u201cKeep track of your periods and have sex at the most opportune times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Your ovaries release an egg about 12 to 14 days before your period starts. If you have a 28-day cycle, you\u2019ll usually ovulate sometime between day 12 and day 16 of your cycle (with day one of your cycle being the day your period starts). To conceive, your egg needs to be fertilized within 12 to 24 hours of ovulation. Sperm live for two or three days, so if you want to get pregnant, you need to have sex a few days before you ovulate through the day of ovulation.<\/p>\n<p>After six months of regular and timed sex without a pregnancy, if you\u2019re frustrated about your results, talk to your doctor. Remember, you\u2019re still well within that one-year, 85-percent window, pointed out Rochester. But there are also simple tests and treatments your doctor can use without going the full-blown infertility route.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople don\u2019t always seek care when they\u2019ve been trying unsuccessfully because they\u2019re afraid of the costs and protocols of infertility treatment,\u201d said Rochester. \u201cBut the truth is, there are a number of simple next steps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A blood test can reveal whether or not you\u2019re ovulating each month, for example. Medications that stimulate egg production are also relatively easy to take and manage, said Rochester.<\/p>\n<p>The prospective mom\u2019s age is also a fertility factor, of course. Women ages 20 to 35 have the highest chances of conceiving quickly and delivering a healthy baby without complications. \u201cBut I have many patients who are in the late thirties and early forties,\u201d said Rochester.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Rochester advised women to remember that each pregnancy is different. If you conceived quickly with your first baby but are having trouble conceiving your second, you\u2019re not alone. It\u2019s not uncommon for conception to take many months. And during those months, it\u2019s essential that moms don\u2019t neglect their own health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter they have one child, women tend to be so busy that they don\u2019t take care of themselves,\u201d said Rochester. \u201cBut it\u2019s so important for them to be in good health before they get pregnant again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thinking about having a baby?
