Trying to Conceive

Conception isn't always easy.  As a matter of fact, if you look at the timing necessary for conception, it is amazing that babies happen by accident at all.  I mean the egg is viable for 24-36 hours... and although sperm can live up to 5 days, their effectiveness decreases the older they get.

But there are many couples out there who struggle, and many who are unsuccessful without medical intervention. 

Help start your baby off on the right foot - take care of yourself BEFORE conception.  Try to eliminate anything that could harm you or your baby.  Start with quitting smoking, drinking and taking any unnecessary drugs.  Start eating a healthy balanced diet including items with folic acid.  Visit your doctor for a check-up and try to be at your healthy best BEFORE conception so that you can be the best you can for your baby.
