Folic acid - they recommend taking it up to 3 months before you conceive I think

I'll be able to swim in June.....oh man is summer that far away!!!!!!!

Take care ladies.

I have no idea about 1st Trimester exercise but I'm getting one of those mini indoor trampolines to get my stomach in shape. so a) I don't have to go out in the cold! and b) I can have fun jumping up and down I hear it is a good all around workout and cheap!

Hiya,

well done on stopping the fags.. it can be difficult but i found it easier knowing what for, you know also, i started on the pre-natal tablets as soon as, as well.. ive been naughty w/the drinking bt hey, you cant stop living completely. A glass or 2 of red wine never hurts when ttc i believe, but that 's just me

(I fell preggers jst b4 xmas and found our after new years.. i have since lost it bt I feel back to normal now.. so even if you're not a saint like me it can happen..) I have to stress tho, i did not drink anything while pregnant!!

when I was at the hospital for a pregnancy diet and exercise thingy the midwife said to immediately start to tighten the pelvic floor muscles as they are invaluable in eveything from balance, carrying the weight of baby and also birth AND after.

She said to do hold muscles (here comes the TMI, lol) both in back passage and in front, as in stopping to wee, breath out, breath in as you start to hold and hold 10 sec (if you can,if not build up to it) Do this twice a day and hey presto you should be all good.. hope this rambling on helps!!

best of luck w/ttc.. babydust to you!! xxx

ps, i also stopped eating peanuts as i have hayfever and OH sometimes has exzema (you can eat other nuts tho if this is a problem for you). And avoided caffeine.. drank primarily decaf w/the odd caffeinated drink once or twice a week..

Interesting read.. Thanks for putting this on. It is a bit daunting what you have to do to prepare before you start ttc.
