So you want to know how to get pregnant easily? Pregnancy is a gift because you can bear an angel in this world. But most women have difficulty in getting pregnant for so many reasons. Here are some excellent tips for you to get pregnant easily and quickly.

Take time to make love. If you want to get pregnant, take your time to make love with your partner. Avoid yourself to be tired and lazy. Much better if you and your partner will go to a vacation so you can focus on each other and start your plans to have a family.

Quit smoking. If you want to get pregnant then don’t smoke. Smoking can reduce the chance for approximately 40% for you to get pregnant. If you smoke, you have to wait for almost two months until you are successfully conceived. As what commercials keep on saying, smoking is dangerous to you health so if you want to get pregnant and if you are already pregnant, stop smoking so your baby will be born health and happy,

Don’t miss your vitamins. Vitamins are very beneficial to both men and women’s fertility. For woman, take folic acid because folic acid gives you chances to get pregnant. Also, Vitamins C to protect sperm’s DNA and also enhance the quality of the sperm. And vitamin E for fertility.

Check you body weight. We all know that if you are overweight or underweight, you have less chance to get pregnant. So if you are overweight or underweight, then start doing exercise like jogging, walking and others.

Choosing the right position. When you and your partner are making love, make sure you choose the right position that deposit sperm close to the cervix and allows the deepest penetration. One position is the missionary position. Also, when making love, put passion and romance in every move so you both will last until both of you reach climax together.

Nothing really beats timing. It’s really a matter of timing. If you still have not gotten pregnant then consult your doctor.

When you are pregnant, there are lots to avoid with. One is food. Why? What you eat might affect your baby’s growth and also yourself while you are pregnant.

When I was pregnant, I keep nagging my husband that I want to eat the food that is avoidable. My husband keeps reminding me that I should not eat this and that because it can affect our baby. So I ended with just a pout in my face. Hehehe. Pregnant women are known as stubborn.

So for most pregnant woman out there, here is the list of the common foods that you need to avoid:

Raw Meat. It is not advisable to eat raw meat since it was not cooked properly because their might be a risk that cause bacteria and other infections for both you and your baby. You need to eat foods that are well-cooked.

Fish with Mercury. We all know that Mercury is dangerous to our body. So eating fish with mercury is also dangerous to both you and your baby. One of these types is shark. Also canned food has mercury like tuna.

Raw Eggs. Raw eggs are exposed to salmonella. Examples of this are Caesar dressings, homemade ice cream, mayonnaise and a lot more. At some point, cooking your eggs will reduce the risk of salmonella, so it is better if you cook it before you eat it.

Caffeine. Some studies show that caffeine is okay however, there are also studies that show caffeine can be related to miscarriage. If you can’t live without caffeine, just take a small about of it. But avoid caffeine during the first trimester of your pregnancy. Remember, it is better to keep it safe.

Alcohol. No need to explain. Of course, this is greatly prohibited to pregnant women because it can lead to abnormality of your child or miscarriage.

So that’s it! That’s my list. Like what I said earlier, it is better to eat safe than regret the things that might happen.

It’s not really fun when you are pregnant. There are a lot of infections that you need to avoid. Why? Simply because you are not alone in your body anymore. There is your precious baby. So you need to take care yourself and avoid yourself from infections that can affect your pregnancy. Of course, we love our precious baby and we want to take care of him or her even if she or he is still in our womb. But doing so, we are not only taking care of our baby but also our body as well.

When I had my first pregnancy, I search Google about the things and infections that I should avoid and here are the top 5 infections in my list that can really affect your pregnancy:

1. Chicken Fox. Some studies say that chances are good that no harm would happen to your baby but you really don’t know. Timing can be a factor. There’s still a rish that your baby will get conginetal varicella syndrome but the risk is at its highest when you are infected between 13 and 20 weeks’ gestation. This syndrome are commonly skin scarring, malfomed limbs, vision problems and abnormal small head. Also, your baby will suffer from physical and mental disabilities or worst, can lead to miscarriage.

2. German Measles. I have known a lot of moms who experience German Measles when they are pregnant and the result of their baby was really devatating. Why? Some baby’s turned out to be mentally retarded. Some moms also had miscarriage. But their is an immunization from this infection. You need to know if you are immune or not.

3. Flu. There a lot of types of flu. One is H1N1. If you are affect by any kind of flu, you will surely have a serious conflications that can put your baby at risk. Many lives has already taken because of this H1N1. Even people who are not pregnant are also affected with this and leads to serious problems. So take some shots that can protect you against the regular seasonal flu.

4. Hepatitis B. This highly infectious virus can spread through your bload, semen and other bodily fluid. It can be transmitted to you when you use utensils that a carrier has used like needles or can be sexually transmitted. If you have contracted with Hepa B, you will feel nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, and a lot more. Some people cannot notice that they are already infected with the virus since the symptoms are just common. But if you don’t mind this virus, it means that your body will be infected by viruses not only Hepa B. If you are pregnant, chances are this virus will be transmitted to your baby. So take a vaccine to avoid this.

5. Sexually transmitted infections. Having STI can affect your baby. It is possible that your baby will carry the disease or worst, miscarriage. To avoid this, you should have a safe sex or don’t have sex with anyone who is positive. There are also treatments on this but we always know that when we are pregnant, we should avoid medicines because some medicines are not good from your baby.

There you go. This are my list of infections that you should avoid because it can really affect our pregnancy. How about you? What’s in your list?
