The birth of a child is one of the main events in a woman's life. But pregnancy planning is no less important event. What do you need to do, what procedures do you need to go through to know that nothing prevents your baby from conceiving and bearing? After all, it happens that the disease can be asymptomatic, and only during pregnancy can it make itself felt or negatively affect the development of the fetus.

Here is a simple list of what needs to be done and which doctors to visit.

General recommendations

1. It would be superfluous to remind you that if there is a place for bad habits in your life, then now you definitely need to give them up. This should be done 3-4 months before conception. Nicotine and alcohol take a very long time to be eliminated from the body.

2. Start walking more outdoors, reading both classical and specialized literature for expectant mothers. After all, not only the physical attitude is important, but also the moral one. Your future baby should know that his mother is a shell of warmth, comfort and kindness. It is very important to avoid stress and depression. Psychological preparation is no less important. You must realize what responsibility you will bear for the future life of a new person. You should know all the subtleties of pregnancy and baby care in the future.

3. It is important to start monitoring your weight and nutrition. You need to stop at fortified foods. Fruits, vegetables, and cereals should be included in your daily diet. You should avoid black tea and coffee, or at least reduce their consumption of two cups per day. It is better to include herbal teas and juices in your diet.

4. A few months before pregnancy, start taking vitamins that contain folic acid. Folic acid intake is necessary to avoid neural tube defects in infants. The optimal dose of folic acid is 400 mg per day. You can also take potassium iodide. Iodine is especially important for women living in areas with iodine deficiency in their living environment. Potassium iodide can be taken until the very end of pregnancy. You may also need to take medications containing iron. But this is already accepted only on the recommendation of a doctor. You should carefully take vitamin A (daily dose - 3000 IU) and vitamin D (daily dose - 400 IU). Getting these vitamins from food, overdose is excluded, and if it is in vitamins, then the dosage should be strictly observed.

Exam

It is advisable, of course, for both parents to undergo an examination and take the necessary tests. But if a young dad cares more about how to replenish the family budget, then the future mom can undergo the necessary examination herself.

If you have some kind of congenital disease, then before pregnancy, be sure to visit your specialist and consult if you can give birth so that your illness does not negatively affect either you or your baby.

Despite feeling well, you should still go to a therapist and undergo standard examinations and tests in such cases – blood and urine donation, fluorography, blood pressure measurement. You also just need to visit a dentist. Dental problems should be eliminated before pregnancy. Because during pregnancy, anesthesia, even if local, will not be performed by any doctor – it is dangerous for the fetus. And not every woman can withstand toothache without taking any painkillers, which also negatively affect the child. So, it is better to fix the problem in advance.

The following tests should also be performed: Wasserman's reaction (blood test for syphilis, RW), examination for chlamydia and examination for cytomegalovirus and toxoplasmosis, blood test for HIV (f-50), culture from the urethra for mycoplasma and ureaplasma, blood test for hepatitis B (HBsAg)

It is necessary to take these tests.

Before visiting the doctors, it is important to remember what diseases you had, what vaccinations were given and not given, and be sure to report this to the doctor. You should ask your relatives if there were any genetic diseases or pathologies in your family or your husband's family.

During the examination, you may be offered vaccinations against hepatitis B, rubella and chickenpox. Such vaccinations should be done, because chickenpox and rubella are very dangerous for the life of the fetus – they can lead to various pathologies. After vaccinations, pregnancy planning should be postponed for another 2-3 months. Remember that vaccinations should be done if you have not had rubella or chickenpox before. If you had these diseases in childhood, then your body has developed immunity to them, so you can't get sick with them anymore, which means you don't need vaccinations.
