Pregnancy Tips & Tricks: 10 Things You Shouldn't Do If You Want to Get Pregnant

Conceiving is hard for some women but easy on others. You have to be meticulous in observing certain regimes if you have been experiencing difficulties getting pregnant. Think out of the box and never give up. Women have avoided the following habits for a successful and healthy pregnancy:

1.    Smoking

As cited in Yahoo! Parenting, The American Society for Reproductive Medicine specialists found smoking as a hindrance to easily conceive. Smoking deteriorates women's fertility hormones as it harms the health. Having said this, it is quite understandable why smoker women's eggs are likely susceptible to incurring genetic abnormalities.

2. Excessively Drinking or Eating Caffeinated Beverages and Food

Intake of over 200 milligrams of caffeinated drinks and food slows down women's fertility hormones. If you'd like to enhance your fertility potentials as early as now, lower your caffeine intake.

3.  Heavy Drinking

Just like heavy caffeine intake, excessive drinking disrupts healthy fertility hormones. The toxic elements associated with alcohol wear down women's health, and subsequently, the potential to conceive.

4.  Neglecting to Maintain a Healthy Weight

Neglecting to maintain an ideal weight puts your health at risk. Thus, pregnancy becomes difficult along the way as well.

5.    Passing Up on Vegetables During Meals

Passing up on vegetables do you harm than good especially when you're trying to conceive. Vegetables bring in nutrition to the body. If your body lacks nutrition, its development for conceiving faces challenges down the line as well.

6.    Not Maintaining Good Oral Health

Not maintaining a healthy oral condition disadvantageously affects your hormone's overall health, and subsequently, fertility potential. Men with good oral health enhance fertile sperms in them as well.

7.    Abstaining On Exercise

Lack of exercise makes you prone to incurring poor health. If you'd like to conceive, maintain a good health condition in every way possible.

8.    Exhausting or Stressing Yourself Out

Exhausting or stressing yourself out lowers your immunity systems. Low immune systems minimize fertility potentials without you realizing it.

9.    Taking Select Medications

As indicated in an article on Babycenter.com, the following medications slow down the potential to conceive:

-Accutane-anti-acne

-Coumadin-a blood clotting anticoagulant

-Tetracyclinevalproic acid-anti epilepsy.

-ACE inhibitors-anti-hypertentsion.

-Injectable meds

 -Malarial contraindication meds such as Plaquenil,

 -High steroid-content meds such as cortisone and prednisone

10.  Exercising Excessively

Excessively exercising exhausts just about anybody, as reported in Thebump.com. Constant fatigue minimizes women's potential to maintain good health and fertility conditions.

Abstinence from doing the things detailed above may not guarantee 100 percent success in conceiving but these realistic tips are definitely worth a shot.
