What is Trimester Zero. 🕊️

Most people focus on the 3 trimesters of pregnancy, but the months before you conceive are just as vital.
Think of it as “prepping the soil” before planting the seed - so what you do today sets the stage for your future pregnancy.
If you’re planning to grow your family, here is your essential
Preconception Checklist:
* 💊 Folic Acid: Start supplementing as soon as you’re planning for pregnancy to support neural tube development. Consider vitamin D as well if you’re high risk.
* 🥗 Nutrient-Dense Foods: Focus on fueling your body with healthy fats, lean proteins, and colourful fibres.
* 👨‍⚕️ Men’s Health: It’s a team sport! Partner health and lifestyle impact conception and infant health more than most realize.
* 🏃‍♀️ Movement: Build a sustainable routine that makes you feel strong and reduces stress.
* 🩺 Health Checks: Get screened for any underlying gynecological or medical conditions (like thyroid issues or iron levels) to ensure you’re starting from your healthiest baseline.

Preparation isn’t about perfection—it’s about empowerment.

• Birth outcomes:
– Higher chance of successful VBAC after prior caesarean

👶 Better Baby Outcomes
