You can take some time out to bond with your baby bump by going for a walk. It's great exercise and easy to fit into your daily routine, even if you're working. Going for a stroll gives you space to think about your growing baby without too many distractions or interruptions. Going without your phone or with your phone on silent without vibration can really buy you some privacy by the way.
You can even have a chat with your baby bump as you go. Taking comfortable walks is especially recommendable if you didn't do much exercise before you became pregnant. Doing moderate exercises can be a blessing for mother and baby, because the fitter your body is, the easier your birth will be.

Stay hydrated! When trying to conceive it is very important to drink lots of water (about 8-10 cups a day). This helps the kidneys to flush out waste products from the body and increases fertile quality cervical fluid.
Here are just some of the many benefits of staying hydrated during the fertility process: cushions and lubricates all tissues and organs in the body facilitates the delivery of hormones throughout the body and may be helpful with enhancing follicles. Water also helps to provide better production of cervical mucus. Cervical mucus helps the sperm to reach the egg.

Loss of appetite often comes with morning sickness, and nausea and vomiting affect an estimated 75% of pregnant women. When you’re bent over a toilet often, it’s no wonder your appetite is a bit shy.
How can you still meet your nutritional needs if you’ve lost your appetite?
-Drink up. Warm water with lemon or ginger, ginger ale (if necessary), or ginger tea can be good substitutes for plain water if you’re nauseous.
-Eat six small meals a day (your body will probably let off hunger signals every two hours), which will satisfy your small appetite — instead of force-feeding yourself big meals.
-Avoid strong-smelling foods or strong smells in general that you don’t feel so good around.
-Take your vitamins.
-Put some drops of Young Living Bergamot oil into a diffuser. The smell of Bergamot oil can support your healthy appetite.

Many people stress that sex or climax might hurt their baby or harm their pregnancy. Also, their partner may feel worried about hurting their pregnant partner or unborn child. Still, for many people, making love is not only safe during pregnancy, but reliable ways of lessening anxiety and increasing emotional welfare.
Can penetration harm the baby?
No. Your baby is fully protected by the amniotic sac (a thin-walled bag that holds the fetus and surrounding fluid) and the strong muscles of the uterus. There's also a thick mucus plug that seals the cervix and helps guard against infection.
Keep in mind that during pregnancy, it's normal for sexual desire to come and go as your body changes. You may feel self-conscious as your belly grows. Hormonal changes during pregnancy cause some women to experience an increased sex drive, while others may show little interest in sex. Just tell your partner what you're feeling and what works. You may need to play with positions, especially later in pregnancy, to find one that's both comfortable and stimulating for you. Plus, staying connected with your partner is more important than ever, since your baby will depend on your united front for love and stability. Strong, healthy relationships lead to healthier behaviors during pregnancy and better birth outcomes.

Oxytocin has been best known for its role in female reproduction. In female bodies, it is released in large amounts during labor and at the climax. It is a facilitator for childbirth and breastfeeding. In the last trimester of pregnancy, changes are already underway to prepare for labor. The more naturally occurring oxytocin rushes through your body during pregnancy, the better will your birth experience later be.
Here are some ways you can boost oxytocin production while you’re pregnant:
Physical Touch – Cuddling your children. Snuggling your pet. Make love with your partner. Getting a massage. Asking a loved one to rub your back or your feet.
Increasing Positivity – Tuning in to your partner and family, and really listening to them. It’s a great way to increase oxytocin. When you’re really present for others, you are making connections. This involves eye-to-eye contact and putting your phone or other distractions aside.
Creating – Your body is busy creating another human being, but what about your mind? It can be too easy to focus on the stresses of life when you have nothing to do. Making your creative juices flow, and creating something focuses your mind, as well as brings a sense of satisfaction.
Breathing – When was the last time you paid attention to your breath? Most people take shallow breaths, particularly when they’re feeling stressed. Deep breathing brings peace into your life. Taking some deep, cleansing breaths down to your belly will slow you down, connect you with your body, and release tension.

You might be wondering: how often should you have sex when you’re trying to conceive? Some research has shown that sperm have better quality after a 2-3 day period of abstinence but there are also studies that have shown higher rates of conception in couples who have sex every 1-2 days. So what’s the rule of thumb to go by?
Of course making love once a day or every other day during your fertile window may increase your odds of getting pregnant but you don’t want to force yourself into a schedule as it could lead to unnecessary stress. Nobody wants to have sex when they must. Everybody wants to have sex if they really feel it tho. The more comfortable you feel about yourself and your relationship, the more comfortable you will feel about making love with all of your heart.
Remember that the ideal number of times to have sex is not what’s written on some “how to schedule”, but what feels most comfortable to you and your significant other. After all, making a baby is not called an act of stress but an act of love. Something we could do all night long, because we love it so much.
