I guess you are right. Luckily I do not drink but a glass of red one here and there and I do not smoke.
I try to eat good but I know there is some things I can do to improve that. I have taken a B complex for a while now that has folic acid in it.

I am just curious???? A friend of ours is scheduling getting pregnant around a family wedding. That seems to be her only concern in the matter.

I guess I over think the whole thing and that is why I am the age I am without a child.

Is it that crazy woman who keeps slapping Phil??
I like her.

Imago said:

WTF??

Dan, when are you planning your pregnancy??

I guess the question is more for mom's that planned their pregnancies.
How exactly did you prepare yourself? Physically, mentally, emotionally?


I know ppl that have planned it and all they talk about is the getting pregnant part but nothing about preparing for it.
It is such a huge thing, major change.
Shouldn't one prepare first?

I mean we prepare ourselves for other things in life like running marathons, going on vacation, moving.....

I would think that one needs to prepare for such a life changing event.

Any suggestions or comments?

oops


Mentally...

I forgot to say don't "plan" for it. You'll never in a million years be mentally prepared for it.

Luckily I have plenty of org support.

shanti0608 said:

Best wishes as always Val Much love to you ...

I love you more than you can imagine.

Mach said:

Thanks Mach. Before org rumours start...I am still on the pill and not ready to officially try. Just wondering if there was something I needed to be doing that I wasn't already.

shanti0608 said:

Can we not "officially" try?

There is no way i am gonna scream "I AM OFFICIALLY GONNA CUM"

No smoking. No beer. No dangerous biking. No diving. No racing. No flying.

Listening to new age albums. Taking long walks. Oh, and there is this sex thing involved, I heard. Ewwwww.

OMG

You're definitely back.

I think I'm gonna have to leave!

folic acid is all I can think of. Don't let it consume you, just start taking the vitamins, go off the pill and don't expect it to happen, because it will when you least expect it to. We "tried" for a year and then gave up, I got a job, after not accepting employment because I didn't want to have to quit for the baby, 2 weeks later BINGO

God damnit.

ZombieKitten said:

See I do not understand that?? The whole planning around holidays and events. I think it should happen when it is meant to happen not around things that could inconvenience us.
I guess because of my age I worry about health issues.

Get a complete physical. Speak with your OB\GYN regarding your concerns and intent of bearing a child.

I was 28 when we conceived our son. Charles was 35. I had wanted a child since I was 23 but waited.

I spoke to my ob/gyn in the states about it before I moved away. She said that since I have always been normal, regular and healthy as far as female stuff goes I should be fine. Though she reminded me not to wait too long because the chances of having twins rise quite a bit in my age bracket.

Don't look surprised. We have had several medical ppl tell us this already and they with the twins on both sides.... who knows.
Maybe we should just keep practicing.
