Preconception / Fertility Care
P R E C O N C E P T I O N   S U P P O R T ​
During the preconception period it is good to come off of any oral contraception you are taking, replace any lost folate, and to start a good supplement regime.  

A multivitamin alone reduces the moms risk of developing hypertension by 38%.  If it is taken in the monh before pregnancy and at each trimester it reduces the risk of neurblastoma (cance rof hte nerve cells) by 30-40%. There is a 43% reduced risk of heart defects. and a 60% reduced risk of a baby developing an omphalocele (a condition where the intestines develop outside of hte babies body).   

Having high Iorn stores reduces the risk of ovulatory infertility and miscarriage, vitamin D increases fertility, and B6 helps reduce stress and improves metabolism in the mother.  Omega 3's, B12, folate, zinc, calcium and magnesium all help reduce pre-term labour as well as pre-eclampsia.  Remember that dose and quality are important and this can be discussed with your ND.  

Preconception care also involves a good exercise routine, detox, and stress redcution.   ​
