Conceiving and having children is a dream for many women. It's just that, the fertility rate of women will usually decrease with age. This condition of course makes it difficult for women who are no longer young to get pregnant. According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, when a woman reaches her middle to late 30s, the chances of getting pregnant are very low. If pregnant, miscarriage events are common. This is due to decreased quality and quantity of egg cells.
Here are some tips for women in their 30s who want to increase fertility and have a high chance of having a healthy baby:
- Eat healthy foods
Being overweight can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Women with a BMI of more than 30 are known to have problems with pregnancy. For this reason, maintaining health and body weight balance is very important. Consuming more fruits and vegetables can increase the chances of getting pregnant with a potentially healthy fetus.
- Vitamin
The National Health Service (NHS) recommends vitamin D and folic acid to promote healthy fetal development, particularly in neural pathways. Especially for women who live a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, vitamin B12 and iron are also very much needed. The reason is, these two nutrients are not easy to find in this lifestyle.
- Avoid booze
Most women understand that stopping alcohol consumption while pregnant is very important to implement. This is because the alcohol content can inhibit a woman's chances of getting pregnant. A study conducted by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine reveals that drinking three glasses of wine a week alone can have a negative effect on a woman's success in having a healthy fetus.
- Get rid of cigarettes
The dangers of smoking taste are commonly known by many people, especially on the health of the fetus. Not only that, tobacco also has a harmful effect on birth in general. For women planning to become pregnant, keep in mind that those who smoke actively reach menopause an average of two years earlier than those who don't.
- Avoid excessive strenuous exercise
Moderate intensity exercise is very beneficial to do during pregnancy, but excessive strenuous exercise can cause problems with the menstrual cycle. Studies conducted on ballet dancers found that strenuous physical exercise can trigger menstrual cycle decline. This can be a guide for women who are about to become pregnant to be aware of the various determining factors in their bodies.
