Before preparing for pregnancy, both couples need to undergo a comprehensive physical examination to ensure that they are in good health. First, the woman should undergo a gynecological examination, including examinations of endometrial thickness, ovarian function, uterine fibroids, etc. The man should also undergo a semen test to ensure that the quantity and quality of his sperm meet the requirements.

During pregnancy preparation, both husband and wife should pay attention to adjusting their living habits to improve their physical fitness.

Avoiding overwork and mental stress and maintaining a comfortable mood are also important factors in preparing for pregnancy.
