Detailed Answer
When preparing for pregnancy, regular sleep habits, falling asleep before 11 p.m. so the hormone rhythm can settle into place, are important. Keeping the lower abdomen warm with a heat pack or foot bath, eating mainly warm foods rather than cold ones to ease the burden on digestion, and taking a light 20 to 30 minute walk each day to support pelvic blood flow are all helpful. Reducing caffeine and excessive stress is also essential.
