How did you get your body baby ready?

Question

My partner and I recently miscarried (early pregnancy) and although I have been determined to look at the experience though a positive perspective I have caught myself thinking "my body let us down" from time to time. My logical mind knows that's not true, but my sadness doesn't. 
I am such a strong believer in changes what I can and leaving the rest to God. So, I have decided to reinvest in getting super healthy. 
Though I'm not super heavy I'm about 10kg overweight (16 pounds I think), but I work out three times a week and  try to eat well. Unfortunately I turned to good when we lost the baby so I have additional weight to lose now. 
What have your experiences been with preparing your body for a baby? Did you make any changes? Do you feel pressured to do so? Are you pregnant now and making dietary changes to accommodate baby? 
I'D LOVE TO HEAR YOUR STORIES!

Answer

I took a prenatal and we both took fish oil and maca. We started following the nourishing traditions way of eating and preparing meals with lots of protein and healthy fats (grassfed butter,coconut oil, olive oil) and we exercised lightly (swimming, walking, biking, yoga). We also took out a lot of chemicals/toxins from our home and routine (ex only glass, stainless steel pots, pans and dishes-no plastic or teflon), switched to paraben free soaps, shampoos, etc

Answer

Exercise helped me deal with some of the emotional aspects of my miscarriage, as well as writing about it a lot. But what helped me get pregnant again quickly I think was just trying to relax and focus on other things.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this💕

Answer

I started taking a prenatal vitamin 3 months before we started TTC. I also stopped keeping unhealthy foods in the house. (Out of sight, out of mind. 😉) My husband helped out by consistently cutting up fruit and veggies to keep in the fridge for me to snack on. I also go to the gym 5 days per week. 
I also found my husband a multivitamin that  puts emphasis on Fertility. I also had him snack on raw red peppers, and dried apricots. (I read somewhere that they *supposedly* help with male fertility.)
