Preparation to get pregnant?

Question

I’m getting my nexplanon out Feb 7th and me and my bf are going to start trying to get pregnant. I want to know is there anything I should be doing now? I take an energy and metabolism multivitamin, vitamin D, magnesium and kava root pills. Should I start taking a prenatal and folic pills? Any help is appreciated and feel free to dm me. I want to do this right ❤️ 👶🏽

Answer

I would switch out the multi for a prenatal. Your prenatal should have enough folate your won’t need an additional pill. I would check the safety of the kava root too to be sure it’s OK when pregnant. A lot of natural things can still be dangerous in pregnancy.

Answer

Girl, I got nexplanon taken out November 15. Got my period November 19. I’m now pregnant 💗 I was just taking prenatals already and tracking my schedule

Answer

If you drink caffeine, I would start weaning off now. I was a regular coffee drinker, and I'm glad I kicked it before conceiving, since withdrawals suck. If you take any meds regularly, tell your prescribing doctor you're trying to conceive in case there are possible issues. And I wouldn't recommend drinking alcohol around your fertile time, just in case. The effects of alcohol, tobacco, and nicotine can actually be worse in the very beginning.

Answer

You should take even prenatal vitamins before you even get pregnant.

Answer

Hey that’s great! Congrats!! Ttc is very exciting! 3 months before we started ttc, I started a prenatal with DHA. I also weaned myself off of caffeine, and pop completely. I tried to eat healthier. Veggies instead of junk snacks like chips. And we conceived our first month trying. We were very lucky! Good luck dear ❤️
