What are you doing to make your body baby ready?
I figured this would be a good thread to start...
Here's what we've done so far:
-DH and I got full physicals & bloodwork
-Went to dentist for cleaning & to make sure teeth and gums are healthy and no procedures need to be done.
-ob/gyn exam and pap-discussed TTC
-went off BCP
-started pre-natal vitamins with DHA (after being on women's centrum for years)
-conscious effort to eat more fruits & vegetables
-have a good gym routine going
-getting plenty of sleep!
What I just started 2 days ago:
-eliminate caffeine! It's soo hard to do this, but I figure it would be easier detoxing off caffeine now than once I'm PG.
What are YOU doing?

Re: What are you doing to make your body baby ready?
A lot of what you shared.
I also cut out Artificial sweeteners. My Dr said all those chemicals are not good to be in your body..( espec if i want to be pregannt)
I didn't cut out caffeine all together. I limit it to one a day & we use Maxwell House caffeine Lite!
Prenatals
Got tested for immunity on vaccines...rubella,mumps, measles.etc. Otherwise they revaccinate you.

Agreed on the artifical sweeteners! I only have them in coffee, which is why I have given it up.

Ditto!! I am welcoming AF with open arms! 
I have also been taking extra folic acid with my multivitamin. I went the prenatal vitamin route and my stomach couldn't tolerate it.

Re: What are you doing to make your body baby ready?
I gave up artificial sweeteners and diet soda about a year ago. It wasn't just for TTC. I was just feeling like I didn't want the chemicals in my body.
I also switched from my regular multi and fish oil to a prenatal combo last May. Since then I've added B-Complex (short LP) and calcium.
I also wanted to be at my ideal weight when I get pregnant. I was close. I'm a WW lifetime member, but was about 6 lbs up from my goal weight. I started going to meetings again and lost 5 of those 6lbs!
