Are you expecting or planning for a baby?

If you are planning then its always a good to think about your health before a planning a child. Conception time varies from each woman. For some it can take just days, others weeks, months, and even years. It is just a matter of chance, when you conceive and depends on your menstrual cycle, your health, whether you take contraception etc.

Your body should have adequate minerals, iron, calcium, and everything that is needed for a normal conception so before planning to conceive I started taking folic acid tablets four months before (but this was advised to me by my Doctor so please talk to yours for advise) and I started gentle exercises like Pilates and Yoga. But exercise doesn't suit everyone. Some exercises might be ok for you during the early pregnancy but as it advances, it might harm you at any instance. The Pilates and Yoga classes I did were esp' for pregnant women.

If you just found out you are pregnant then you have much to expect! Lol. You get tired, sick often, uncomfortable and strange changes surprise you each new day! I was working while pregnant so had to experience anxieties e.g. morning sickness and working etc. But this is natural.

First thing to do is go to your Doctor for a check-up. I bought the book What to expect when you are expecting by A Eisemberg and Co. It's a great read! There are also various websites which you can sign up to to get weekly updates on your pregnancy.

The best one I have come across and am still with as they continue to send you advise as your child grows is:
