Quit alcohol, narcotics and caffeine

According to health experts, caffeine hardens the pelvic muscles of the fallopian tubes. Studies have also shown that more than five cups of coffee a day can lead to miscarriages.

Stop smoking

Prospective mothers should know that smoking reduces the chances of conceiving by 40 percent. Scientists say that smoking impairs the functioning of the ovaries so its better to quit the ‘cancer sticks’.

Healthy weight and diet

Consuming enough iron, calcium and zinc is very crucial in the diets of females who want to conceive. Zinc is said to regulate the menstrual cycle.

Folic acids also boost the sex hormones in females and should be included in the diets of a prospective mother.
