Plan a Healthy Pregnancy

Baby's presence is not only a gift of God but also a big responsibility. Pregnancy lasts for 9 months which is itself a period of preparation for future baby can live outside the mother's body. For that expectant mothers should have prepared themselves before the time of conception. 

Preparation of the first is the emotion and psychology. Prospective parents who have prepared themselves emotionally usually be better prepared for pregnancy and any changes that may be experienced.

"Mental preparation will make the pregnancy easier. Unintended pregnancy can cause denial attitude of the prospective mother and was certainly influential in his lifestyle, for example, still smoking or stress," said Darius dr.Febriansyah, Sp.OG, from RS. Jakarta Kemang Medical Care.
Couples who are planning to have children are also encouraged to check their health. One is a blood test to determine whether there is virus in the body that affect the pregnancy.
Screening to determine whether there is a hereditary disease is also important. "There are some disease-carrying genes that, when met with a pair of genes can cause abnormalities in babies, such as thalassemia," said dr.Febri in talk show about pregnancy held by Mother Care in Jakarta last weekend.
Another inspection is an examination of male and female reproductive organs to determine the quality of their fertility. For example, examination of the ovaries tract, vaginal infections, including sperm analysis.
Another factor to consider is lifestyle changes. Exercise habits, quitting smoking, and getting used to having a healthy diet. Balanced nutrition before pregnancy will support a healthy pregnancy and increase the opportunities given birth to healthy babies as well.
Inadequate demand for vitamins and minerals, including folic acid, calcium and iron. Balance yourself with activities that are relaxation and stress away.
