Thinking of having a baby
Want to give your child the best possible start in life?
Learn of ways to improve and optimise your reproductive health?
Overcome health issues or fertility problems that may be affecting your ability to conceive?
Although the process of making babies is a relatively simple one, it is not necessarily straightforward for many. Unfortunately there is a rising rate of health problems in Australia related to fertility, pregnancy, birth and our children’s health.
- One couple in six is infertile.
- One woman in five will suffer a miscarriage.
- One baby in ten will be born prematurely.
- One child in thirty is born with a congenital defect.
- At least one child in every 10 suffers from learning or behavioural difficulties and one child in five suffers from asthma.
This is thought to be greatly influenced by many lifestyle issues – pollution, depleted soils, high levels of stress, frequent medicine usage, chemicals in our foods and water, inadequate diets, over eating of sugars and processed foods, heavy metal toxicity, rising rates of obesity, caffeine, alcohol – all leading to poorer overall health and therefore poorer reproductive health. In addition we have male fertility rates falling with normal sperm parameters decreasing by 50% in just the last 50 years and of course many woman suffer from conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS, fibroids and often irregular cycles all of which can make having a baby a challenge.
The good news is, and Yes there is good news, is that there is much that we can do to minimise these effects and optimise our reproductive health and its called preconception care.
