KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH) shares what is the optimal weight and status your body should be in for the best chance of conceiving.
Optimise your chances of getting pregnant by being in optimal shape
To enjoy the highest possible chance of conceiving, you should optimise your pre-pregnancy nutritional status and be in the best metabolic health state possible before pregnancy.
1. Be at your ideal weight before conception
Your BMI status can affect fertility, cause health problems during pregnancy and affect the future health of a child. A little change can make a big difference.
2. Be in perfect balance - Pay attention to the 6 'P's
3. Continue to be physically active
Being physically active can help to improve fertility. Physical activity refers to any activity that will raise the heart rate, increase the pace of breathing and warm up the body.
