Have you been planning to have a baby for quite some time and do you feel overwhelmed by it? The best tips on getting pregnant include thorough understanding on how your body works, where preparation is the key for you and your future family.
This is where Eastern medicine excels: o Understanding the Reproductive Cycle - Traditional Chinese Medicine links human well-being and nature to produce a philosophy of treatment that is unmatched - even against today's high tech and modern view of medicine.
It was founded on the philosophy of Tao, or interplay of opposites.
Most people know this as Yin and Yang.
Each type of energy consists of a small portion of the other and, when balance between the two shifts too far in the wrong direction, disease can occur.
Understanding the fundamentals of Yin and Yang will help you understand better your reproductive cycle.
o Paying Attention to Overall Health - For a woman trying to conceive, this requires taking a good hard look at a woman's overall health and well-being (including her physical, emotional and spiritual state of mind), and looking for the organs and/or energy "meridians" that are not in place.
Once found, treatment options including diet, exercise, acupuncture, herbs and more can all be used to help her body heal itself and to begin to work, once more as it was designed.
o Understanding Conception (learning when and how to do it) - Timing is everything when it comes to getting pregnant.
Choose the wrong day to have sex and you'll ruin any efforts to have a baby.
Recognizing signs of ovulation: by watching the calendar, by watching for an increase in vaginal fluids, by feeling inside your vagina (to see when the cervix becomes softer and slightly open).
Other physical signs include; bloating, headaches, breast tenderness and more.
