LIFESTYLE TIPS to sustain pregnancy

It’s important to prepare your body and adjust your lifestyle to maximize your chances of conceiving. Here are some tips that can really improve your fertility.

Water

Avoid alcohol

It’s a good idea to avoid or strictly limit alcohol consumption as it reduces fertility. The Department of Health advises avoiding alcohol entirely if trying to conceive or during pregnancy.

Caffeine

Caffeine is believed to restrict a developing baby’s growth by constricting blood vessels and reducing blood flow to the uterus. Currently, the recommendation is to limit caffeine intake to under 300 mg per day, which is equivalent to 4 cups of instant coffee, 3 cups of fresh coffee, or 6 cups of tea.

Smoking

According to a report published by the British Medical Association (BMA), women have a 40% reduced chance of conceiving when they smoke. Smoking decreases sperm count and increases sperm abnormalities in men. Ask your GP or office nurse for help with quitting.
