Someone asked me recently, “How long have you been preparing for pregnancy?”
At first, I thought the answer was about a year.
That’s when I started preparing my body more intentionally.
I did Panchakarma in India, had fertility and nutritional testing, focused on strength training, supported my hormones and deepened my understanding of my cycle.
But the more I thought about it, the more I realised my preparation started long before that.
It started almost 12 years ago when I chose to study Ayurveda because I knew I wanted a family one day, even though I had no idea I’d end up working in fertility!
It continued when I left a relationship I thought would become my future.
When I met my husband and we spent years building a relationship that felt safe and secure. We did therapy together, created financial stability, built a home and a life that felt ready to welcome a child.
Looking back, I don’t see those years as time I was waiting. I see them as years I was preparing.
I also know that preparation looks different for every woman.
For some, it’s healing after illness.
For others, it’s finding the right partner, changing careers, moving somewhere that feels more aligned, or rebuilding their health before they begin trying.
That’s why I believe preparing for pregnancy is about so much more than supplements or starting three months before conception.
It’s about creating the healthiest foundation you can, in your body, your relationships and your life, before pregnancy arrives.
