how to prepare

We are going to start trying in March ... I know a little ways off.

What should we do to get ready? Speak with a Dr. and make sure we are all go? WHen should we do that? We are trying to avoid another preemie. I have found so much conflicting information on when to start trying to lessen the risk of prematurity. ...

Any information you ladies have THROW IT MY WAY!!

WOw I thought you guys were done, how exciting!!!!!!

Hoenstly I don't know, but if your doctor says go, then GO!!!!

I don't think its to soon to prepare. I don't know about premie prevention, but I would get off caffeine and start some prenatal definitely. If it were ME, I would start taking my temp and charting so I know when I am ovulating. Its easier if you have a few months to trend off of so you have a good average to go on.

One thing I would consider tho, is that if you get PG in march, you will have a new born in the dead of winter, when it is cold and flu, and RSV season.

definitely let your doctor know he might want to check you out and then start you on prenatals, also my doctor likes to check to see if you are amune to certain things just to be on the safe side.

apparently I can't spell today

Jen,
I was trying to convince DH we were done!! I was and am still a little scared about what pregnancy holds for me. We want a total of 5. AHHHHH

Tara,
I can't do temps and stuff. I don't have a period. I still haven't even after having two children. We dealt with RSV this year ... I don't want to go through that again. I think it will take us a little while to get pregnant though, probably 4 - 6 months.

You got pg really easy last time.....

Prenatals, and Folic Acid are both reccomended before TTC.

My Dr. did a Pap and told me to start taking prenatals now to create a helpful environment for implantation. She also suggested charting but I have no idea how to I need to make time to figure it out.

Carly was a SURPRISE so I have no idea how to get pregnant, intentionally aside from the obvious

Jenn - I did get pg, easily last time. Hopefully that is the case this time around as well. We are thinking about waiting a little longer to start trying. Maybe August instead. Who knows, I feel that the more restrictions we put on it, the longer it will take us. HAH! Like I want to have this much in the bank, I want to have our house paid off, I want a new car, yadda yadda yadda.

DH said we should just DTD and if it happens it happens, haha I think he is partial to DTD though! HAHAH!!
