The implementation of the two-child policy has made many mothers eager to start preparing for pregnancy. However, it is important to plan for pregnancy properly. What is the "golden" moment for getting pregnant? Don't overdo it in preparation for pregnancy and end up harming your body. What specific aspects should be considered? Let's take a look together!
【Conception Season: July or August is the most ideal】
Throughout the year, which month is the best for conception? Let's hear what they have to say:
A mother of a 2-year-old: If I had the chance to choose again, I would definitely choose to get pregnant in the summer. There are plenty of fruits and vegetables available at that time. I heard that eating more fruits during pregnancy is good for the baby's skin. Unlike me, when I got pregnant in the winter, there were no fresh fruits and vegetables. And they were also more expensive.
Doctor: According to a recent study, babies born in May, June, and July tend to have better overall health compared to those born in other months. This means that July or August is the most ideal time for conception, with the mid-term of pregnancy coinciding with autumn.
During the two most crucial stages of fetal growth and development, the climate conditions and natural environment are superior, with abundant sunlight and blooming flowers. Expectant mothers will be in a good mood. And when the child is born, it will be spring with everything coming back to life, which is a good time for growth.
Avoiding the harsh winter, expectant mothers do not have to undergo postpartum confinement in the winter, nor worry about the baby getting cold due to weak physical condition. At the same time, it also avoids the high incidence of influenza during the winter, which is beneficial for both mother and child.
【Timing of Conception: 9-10 PM is the best time of the day for conception】
China has long had principles for eugenics and good parenting. Do these traditional beliefs have scientific basis?
Folk beliefs: In ancient China, there were sayings such as "do not enter the room after drinking alcohol" and "do not be in different rooms during thunderstorms." These sayings have some scientific basis. "Do not enter the room after drinking alcohol" is because the ethanol in alcohol can affect the quality of sperm and eggs, thus affecting the quality of fertilized eggs, and in severe cases, causing congenital deformities. "Do not be in different rooms during thunderstorms" illustrates the influence of emotional fluctuations on the quality of conception. If the environment during conception is bad, it will inevitably affect the emotions of both spouses. Emotional changes can lead to unstable endocrine environments in the body, which is not conducive to conception.
Doctor: From a physiological perspective, women have an ovulation cycle of about 28 days. The lifespan of an egg is very short, only 24 hours. The lifespan of sperm can reach more than 72 hours, but their optimal fertilization ability only lasts for 20 hours. Therefore, the best time for conception is within 15 hours after the egg is released.
From an emotional perspective, the human body also has a cycle of emotional changes that is directly related to the body's endocrine environment. Anger, fear, and anxiety can all affect the quality of conception.
In addition, some people have analyzed the physiological cycle changes in humans throughout the day and found that the body's functions tend to rise between 7 AM and 10 AM, decrease after 4 PM, and repeat this cycle after 5 PM, sharply declining after 11 PM. Therefore, it is analyzed that 9-10 PM is the best time of the day for conception.
【Foods to Eat During Pre-pregnancy】
1. Coriander
Coriander contains estradiol, which can effectively regulate female hormones and improve the quality of eggs.
2. Apples
Apples contain a large amount of flavonoids and carbohydrates, as well as vitamins A, C, E, and antioxidants. They belong to a type of fruit that is warm and nourishing, promoting metabolism and being highly beneficial.
3. Dairy products

4. Supplement with folic acid and vitamins
Supplementing with folic acid before pregnancy is particularly important and can effectively prevent various congenital deformities.
