Healthy eating

Naturally, eating a healthy diet is going to benefit you whether or not you are trying to get pregnant. Sticking to a healthy diet that gives you all the nutrients that you require will help create a healthy body.

This, in turn, will improve your chance of conceiving more than if you were unhealthy. It is also very important to increase your intake of folate before you get pregnant.

Take folic acid

Folate is needed before and in the first weeks of pregnancy and can help reduce the risk of certain serious and common birth defects called neural tube defects, which affect the baby's brain and spinal cord.

What are the best sex positions to increase chances of conception?

There are sex positions that do favour conception, and there are also positions that should be avoided if you are trying to get pregnant.

Experts do tend to suggest that the missionary position is one of the best positions and this is for a number of reasons. This position gives you deep penetration and places the sperm closer to the cervix.

The female may also choose to elevate her hips with a pillow. For a change of routine, rear entry and lying side by side are also very effective positions.

The positions you should avoid when you are trying to fall pregnant are having sex while you are standing, sitting or with the female on top. Couples who are trying to conceive can experience stress around the time of ovulation.

As this can lead to vaginal dryness, some couples use special moisturizers to relieve this dryness.
