Any woman who has suffered a miscarriage knows how heartbreaking this experience is. Some women are genetically more vulnerable to miscarriage than others. If you have a family history of miscarriage, you should share this information with your pediatrician and ask for specific steps you can take to avoid miscarriage during your pregnancy. Even if you have no family history, your nutrition, both before becoming pregnant, as well as throughout your pregnancy, is of utmost importance.
When you're trying to conceive after miscarriage, it's wise to spend at least three months building up your nutritional stores beforehand. Here are some tips on how to create an intensive, 3 month nutritional program that strengthens and nurtures your body in preparation of trying to conceive after miscarriage, giving you the greatest chance of a healthy and successful pregnancy.
1.Eliminate caffeine and alcohol from your diet.
2.If you smoke, quit!
3.Avoid processed, refined and fatty foods. If you can, eat only fresh, organically grown produce and meats. You don't need the pesticides, growth hormones and antibiotics found in non-organic foods.
4.Include plenty of whole grains. Go for pasta made of Semolina wheat, whole grain cereals and breads. The fiber these foods contain goes a long way towards flushing toxins from your system and keeping your digestive tract clean.
5.Ask your doctor to test you for any vitamin or mineral deficiencies to see if you should be taking particular supplements that will help you when trying to conceive after miscarriage. Also get your doctor's recommendation on a good multiple vitamin supplement. There are special formulas made just for pregnant women which contain higher doses of certain nutrients, such as folic acid.
6.Discuss your exercise options with your doctor. While you want to be as fit as possible, you'll want to know what activities may be excessive when you're trying to conceive after miscarriage. Usually, aerobics and swimming are good choices to tone up muscles and gain strength while not being too stressful.
7.Your beverage of choice should be water, water and more water! You'd be surprised how easy it is to pick up the water drinking habit. Even people who dislike drinking water can come to enjoy it, when 'spiked' with a wedge of lemon or lime. Water works wonders in cleaning out your system and getting and keeping you well hydrated.
8.Do get plenty of rest. A regular schedule of sleep encourages your body to get those 8 hours of rest, whereas an erratic schedule does the opposite.
After just three months of taking good care of yourself, you'll feel and be stronger, healthier and more energetic. When you're trying to conceive after miscarriage, good nutrition, proper exercise and a regular pattern of rest provides the optimum environment for a successful pregnancy. The best of luck to you!
