At Flowrence Hospital, we often meet couples who come in after trying for months—frustrated, confused, and wondering if something’s wrong.
But very few couples ask us this question at the right time: "What can we do before we even start trying?" That’s the question that shows you’re ready—not just to become a parent, but to become an informed one. So if you’re planning a baby—this blog is for both of you.
For Her: Building the Right Foundation
You’re not just going to carry a baby. Your body is going to build it from scratch.
So before you try to conceive, here are 4 things you should take care of:
Visit a gynecologist
Start with a basic consultation. At our gynecologist hospital in Rajkot, we check your medical history, menstrual regularity, past pregnancy complications (if any), and screen for risks like PCOS, thyroid, or anemia.
Begin folic acid
One simple tablet a day, started at least 1–2 months before pregnancy, can prevent birth defects in your baby’s brain and spine. It’s a small step with lifelong impact.
Update your vaccines
Rubella (German measles), Hepatitis B, and in some cases, COVID booster. These protect you and your baby.
Balance your nutrition and rest
You don’t need to be “perfect.” Just eat better, sleep well, and don’t exhaust yourself mentally. Healthy women have healthier pregnancies.
For Him: Yes, You Matter Too
Most men assume planning for pregnancy is the woman’s responsibility. But that’s not true.
Your habits and health directly affect the quality of your sperm and your partner’s well-being.
Here’s what we advise at our pregnancy care hospital
Cut down (or quit) smoking and alcohol
It’s not just about fertility. Tobacco and alcohol increase the risk of miscarriage and even birth defects.
Get basic blood work done
Sugar, thyroid, and blood pressure are worth checking. Many men have undiagnosed health issues that quietly affect fertility.
Be emotionally available
Pregnancy begins long before the bump. Listen, support, share the load. Women who feel emotionally safe during planning have smoother experiences overall.
Start healthy habits together
Whether it’s a daily evening walk, sleeping on time, or switching to home-cooked meals—do it together. It strengthens your bond and your bodies.
For Both of You: Prepare as a Team
Check your medical insurance and finances
Pick a hospital you trust for long-term care (we recommend not changing hospitals mid-pregnancy unless necessary)
Learn about your fertile window and when to try
Speak openly about fears, hopes, and expectations
This is the phase where you prepare your life—not just your body.
The Best Time to Act Is Before You Start Trying
You don’t need to wait for a missed period to take care of your health.
If you’re planning a baby in the next 3–6 months, visit your gynecologist. Ask questions. Get clarity. And begin your journey with confidence.
At Flowrence Hospital—widely trusted as the best hospital in Rajkot for maternal and child care—we treat every parent’s planning phase with the same importance as their delivery day.
