Hello, this is my first time on this group and need some information. So my fiancee and I we have a 6 yr old son. We are scheduled to get married on June 3 2017. lately we have been talking about having another baby as we are not getting any younger I'm 25 and he's 27 and its been 6 yrs since we had our son and were ready to try again after what we went through last year. last year I suffered a spontaneous miscarriage after being on the iud for 5 yrs and got pregnant about 2 WEEKS after having it removed. he wants to try right away but I want to try after the wedding. I'm also currently on birth control pills. what are some things I can do to get MY body ready and healthy for pregnancy and when is it a good time for me to stop the BC pills if I want to us to start ttc by end of summer 17'?
Absolutely, make sure you are getting enough folic acid. It helps prevent neural tube defects which can happen in the first few weeks of pregnancy.
