Chapter 5 · Preparing Before Conception
Create your Majestic Baby Blueprint — the lifestyle checklist for the months before you try to conceive.
A farmer prepares the soil before sowing. A home begins with a plan. In the same way, a couple can prepare before trying to conceive.
Where possible, begin paying attention to diet, routine, health, thoughts and habits three to six months before conception.
Start by reflecting together: what are our strengths, which habits need improvement, how can we strengthen our relationship, and which values do we hope to share with our child?
You may create a Majestic Baby Blueprint with your photographs, meaningful thoughts and images of people whose qualities inspire you.
Make time for meditation, prayer and constructive thoughts. Read good books. Reduce excessive social media use and screen time. Get adequate sleep and regular physical activity. Stop tobacco, alcohol and other addictive substances. Eat fresh, balanced and nutritious food. Have the health checks your doctor recommends.
Discuss current medicines, vaccinations, thyroid disorders, diabetes, high blood pressure, PCOS and other health conditions with your doctor. Ask whether family history indicates a need for thalassaemia or other genetic carrier screening. Start folic acid or other supplements only as advised by your doctor. Do not start or stop any supplement, Ayurvedic medicine or treatment on your own.
The male partner should also review his health, addictions, sleep, weight, long-term medicines and reproductive health. If needed, the doctor may suggest tests such as semen analysis.
Not every couple needs every test. Age, medical history, previous pregnancies and existing reports help the doctor decide what is appropriate.
