Are you trying to get pregnant? Wait! Maybe you should take a couple of steps back and make sure you are starting this process right.
“Farmers nourish their soil long before they plant crops, why shouldn’t we do the same?” Why shouldn’t women and men optimize their health, nourish their bodies and regulate any hormonal imbalances before conceiving? Your body and your baby will thank you if you do the preparation work.
It takes around four months for an egg to reach maturity and for a new batch of sperm to be made. Taking this time to optimize your health is crucial before conception occurs. Discuss your plan with your Naturopathic doctor and ensure a happier and healthier pregnancy.
