Getting Pregnant for the First Time

Getting Pregnant for the First Time

Pregnancy is the most exciting time for any woman. Having a baby completes a woman. Getting pregnant for the first time has its share of anxieties and apprehensions. Some sort of apprehensions is normal but taking too much stress can take a toll on the chances of getting pregnant. All it takes for getting pregnant for the first time is some basic knowledge about the whole process of conception. Learn some tips for getting pregnant for the first time and see the positive results. Read on.

The very idea of getting pregnant for the first time can cloud your mind with a whole lot of beliefs, myths and apprehensions. However just like everything has a first time, getting pregnant is also a very simple process. You simply need to be well-informed and keep a few things in mind. Pregnancy is a very exciting thing to happen to a woman and when the woman decides to give birth for the first time, she can efficiently allay all her fears and doubts by knowing her system well and some intelligent planning.

Here are a Few Simple Points Discussed in Brief about Getting Pregnant for the First Time:

Learn what Intimacy is All About

It is important that you feel at ease when you are intimate with your partner. When you plan to get pregnant for the first time, you must know that a relaxed and stress free attitude helps your system for successful fertilization and pregnancy.

Frequent ejaculation is essential. This improves the motility of his sperms and it is advisable that he ejaculates at least once every week. However the ejaculation must not be too frequent. It has been found that couples practicing abstinence for three days before intercourse have the maximum chances of becoming pregnant.

Another vital point to remember is that sex should mean that it must result in pregnancy. It negatively affects the desired emotional satisfaction that is so essential in inducing relaxation. Having sex throughout the fertility cycle can readily make you pregnant.

Check Sperm Count

Your partner must have a healthy sperm count. The other associated factors that needs to be medically checked are –

  1. His sperm motility
  2. Sperm morphology
  3. Analysis of his seminal fluid

The woman can become pregnant easily if all the reports give a normal count. However, there is no reason to despair in case of a low sperm count. In such a case, you should plan to have intercourse every alternate day or within a gap of every 48 hours. This can ensure that the sperm count of your man is sufficient to make you pregnant easily.

Plan your Intercourse

If you want your intercourse to result in pregnancy, always keep a track of your ovulation date. Take the assistance of the available ovulation kits or determine the date through the basal body temperature method or the cervical mucus method. Intercourse during the peak fertility period will readily result in pregnancy. This refers to the time two days before and after the ovulation date.

Position also Matters

The position you practice during intercourse can greatly affect your chances of getting pregnant. This is more so if you are becoming pregnant for the first time. It has been found through numerous studies that the conventional missionary position and rear entry position are the most effective ones that can make a woman pregnant. This is because in these positions, the leakage of sperm is prevented or is minimal. More the sperm is able to stay in the uterine tract, more the chances of the woman to become pregnant. It is also advisable that the woman lies on her back for at least thirty minutes after intercourse, due to the same reason.
Finally, it is important to note that you don’t need to do anything out of the box when you are trying to become a mother for the first time. All you need to do is take care of the basics and stay relaxed.
