Conception & Pregnancy Over 35 is a practical guide to minimizing risks and ensuring an active, enjoyable pregnancy, from eating the best foods to adapting your working life. The book opens with a top-to-toe preconception health MOT to establish which areas to target to become fit for conception. The authors set out step-by-step detox, stress-reduction and exercise plans alongside a diet based on fertility superfoods and supplements to maximize chances of conception. There are top sex tips to make sure you are doing it the right way at the right time. To explore whether you are emotionally ready for parenthood, exercises look at common areas of conflict, from responsibility to relationships with in-laws, and a career and financial assessment gauges the impact motherhood may have on your work. Since pregnancy can be slow to achieve for some older couples, the authors present the latest thought on fertility issues, and the options and odds for assisted conception.
