Fertility
Getting
pregnant is by no means easy, and while some women hit the jackpot within a
week of trying, others take years. One couple in six has infertility problems,
so you’re not alone if difficulties occur. Even if you do need some assistance,
the chances are you’ll go on to have a perfectly healthy pregnancy and baby. At
least half of all problems with conception are down to male infertility, with
the other half down to female infertility so you’ll both need to be assessed as
a couple if problems arise. It is important that you’re both sure you are ready
for a baby, before any treatment starts.
The
first step you can take is to ensure you both have fit and healthy bodies in
order to conceive and carry a baby to term. This may mean giving up a few
pleasures you’ve gotten used to, like smoking and alcohol, but you’ll soon have
to change your lifestyle to make way for a baby so it’s good practice to start
now.
