There are a few things you might want to know about before hand if you are trying to conceive that could help you and your baby stay healthy as well as promote the process!

1. Stop smoking. You may intend to stop smoking when you actually fall pregnant but you will find if you stop smoking now you will get pregnant much more quickly. If you have been trying for a while to no success stop smoking to help speed up the process. It won’t work for everyone but smoking can seriously inhibit your fertility and it will help prepare you for the long haul without cigarettes that is to come.
2. Eat plenty of bananas! Okay, definitely not every one’s favourite fruit they aren’t exactly succulent grapes or a juicy mango but they are fully functional and beneficial for you and your child and can provide that much needed folic acid that is needed even before conception.
