Covering preconception and interconception (between-pregnancy) well-being for women and men, Amy Ogle and Lisa Mazzullo draw on new research from their complementary fields of expertise and reveal how good preconception health can lower the risk of pregnancy complications and improve lifelong health. Why a ninety-day guide? It takes that long for sperm to mature, and at least that much time for the prospective mother to ensure that her body becomes pregnancy-ready. In a warm, intelligent style, the authors address up-to-date topics such as age, heredity, vaccinations, supplements, and weight. In easily accessible chapters, this guide covers such topics as
•
meal makeovers plus new facts (and fiction) about fish, omega-3s, vitamins, and herbs
how to assess emotional, financial, and physical readiness, including a preconception-friendly exercise program, plus advice for avid athletes
choosing a doctor, insurance coverage, baby-friendly medications, and the latest genetic screening guidelines
expanded coverage of gynecologic and medical conditions affecting fertility and pregnancy (including bariatric surgery and physical disabilities), and steps to create a welcoming womb by optimizing immune health
a roundup of environmental exposures and travel tips
practical lifestyle advice for men to help maximize the number and health of sperm
clear signs that predict when to “start trying,” and the truth behind common myths
reassuring options for reproductive assistance
the best plan for pregnancy recovery, before trying for another
questionnaires for your preconception medical visit, and charts to track fertility signs
