Hi guys,

Well after our wedding in early December, we plan on trying to concieve straight away. Any tips or advice from experienced pouchers? Like do you need a surgeon at the birth or a Gastro person? Can you still drink any wine or anything between periods, until you know for sure, ie over Christmas? I really am grateful for this site, each hurdle I jump, has a different topic of helpful people

There are many precautions a woman should take before getting pregnant. It is recommended pregnancies are planned because so many factors affect development.

Getting into the habits of a healthy lifestyle are important.
Getting the proper nutrients in food, even taking a prenatal vitamin, getting in shape and avoiding smoking and drinking are just some suggestions.

Even working conditions should be thought about, like chemical use at a salon- hair dye, nail polish etc.

Best of luck!

Folic Acid...this is for all women!

Cool, so it sounds like its just the "normal" preparations that all women should do...

Take care and I hope to see you all here further down the track with some good news xx
