Report Shows Many Couples Are Not Preparing For Pregnancy.
A new poll conducted on two thousand women in the UK by Pregnancy & Birth magazine suggests that many couples trying for a baby are not the best physical condition to conceive.
What Do The Results Show?
- Sixty eight per cent drink alcohol and two out of ten admitted to drinking “too much”
- Forty per cent smoke while trying for a baby. Only twenty six per cent gave up smoking
- Forty four per cent tried to eat a healthy diet and one third of respondents were overweight
- Three out of ten couples trying to conceive admitted to taking recreational drugs
It is important that couples be educated and that theya re fully aware that they needed to lead a healthy lifestyle, not only for their own general health, but for their fertility and the health of any offspring.
