Thinking About Having a Baby?

The healthier your body is before pregnancy, the healthier your baby will be. Preparing early gives you the best foundation for a smooth pregnancy, birth, and recovery.

Steps to Prepare Your Body

  • Start now – the sooner you begin, the better.

  • Drop unhealthy habits – reduce or stop recreational drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, processed foods, excess sugar, coffee, wheat, and dairy.

  • Get your spine checked – a balanced spine and pelvis before pregnancy make a big difference in the later months, especially when oxytocin softens ligaments before birth.

  • Strengthen your core – focus on abdominal, lower back, and general muscle fitness, as well as pelvic flexibility.

  • Check your health – have blood tests to identify any deficiencies and work on healing nagging health issues before conceiving.

Helpful Supplements

  • Magnesium

  • Bone matrix

  • Collagen (for muscle and skin flexibility)

  • Vitamin C

  • Choline

  • Additional supplements based on your personal test results

*Always check with your healthcare provider before starting new supplements.
