Baby Making Foods

Hello, just wondered if anyone has a special 'diet' they use to help or have heard it will help in conceiving or other things?

I've read there's been study's on women who eat more protein than carbs who have had a higher conception rate (17% vs 83%).

And I've read about women who eat probiotics during early pregnancy to help prevent allergies in the baby, something about introducing live bacteria in early growth prepares the immune system.

Anyone else got any tidbits of information? I don't need facts, I'll try anything so long as it's not crazy

Rasberry leaf tea is suppost to be good for your uterus.

    Kale: A powerful antioxidants, packed with
    vitamins and nutrients including vitamin A,
    folic acid and calcium. Enhances the immune
    system, repairs and protects cells. Especially
    helpful for those with PCOS or endometriosis.

    antioxidants that protect the body from cell
    damage and aging which also include your egg cells.

Thanks so much for all the tips everyone, I've been putting them to good use!

Now I just have to convince DH that we can start TTC. He wants to wait a couple of cycles after m/c. bah humbug.

Hey Nellenium,

I have done a bit of research and yep, everything these ladies have said are super good for you!

I have recently been reading Zita West's book and she suggest warming foods are better than cold foods. So if you're going to eat salad, eat something warm with it.. don't drink iced drinks etc..

Not sure if it works but I found it an interesting concept!
