I have never been pregnant before so this would be my first child. I am just wondering what I should do, what I shouldn't do, and what can do in order for me to have a better chance at getting pregnant and delivering a healthy baby.

Before one actually tries to conceive, it seems like it will happen immediately! Truth be told, many women take up to a whole year to conceive. After that year, doctors may intervene with medical help.
Perhaps a good place to start is to determine if you are ovulating. Most women ovulate 14 days after the first day of their last period. You can do ovulation tests around that time to determine when you are ovulating. If you do not get a positive result, a doctor may help you to ovulate by starting you on a medicine called clomid.
Some women slightly elevate their hips for 20 minutes after intercourse, to ensure that more of the sperm comes in contact with the cervix. 20 minutes is an adequate amount of time, because after that time, any sperm that did not enter, will be killed by the differing pH of the vagina. Some women however, choose to use 'instead' cups, which are more commonly used for one's period.
There is also something called 'Fertility Tea', or a similar name. Apparently, it will help you to conceive.
Some women have also tried half a tablespoon of cough syrup for a few days before ovulation, claiming that it helps to thin out the lining of the uterus, hence making it easier for the baby to implant itself into the uterine wall. I'm not sure if it's safe to try, or even if it works - but it's just another tidbit of information for you!
For the average couple, having sex once per day provides the best chance of getting pregnant.
The woman-on-top position isn't great for pregnancy, since ejaculate may flow out.
FACTS:
Most women have a 15 to 25 percent chance of getting pregnant during their cycle.
Nearly 50 percent of couples conceive during the first 3 months.
About 75 percent of couples conceive during the first 6 months.
Up to 90 percent of couples conceive during the first year.
On the average, there are 280 days from the first day of your last period to your due date

Recent studies have shown that a women's stress levels are actually a factor in whether and how quickly she becomes pregnant. Plus, there are lots of people who have stories about finally getting pregnant after they've relaxed and stop trying.... So pamper yourself a little and stop worrying. It couldn't hurt.
Good luck!

A good thing is to purchase an ovulation kit. It is like a pregnancy test where you pee on a stick, except it tells you if you are ovulating. At the time of ovulation, you should have intercourse and this increases the likelihood of getting pregnant.

I love to put in writing songs and I will let you know that in the event you desire him to play your tune then you definitely gotta supply him a beat. Even if this is a middle beat. Ask him to play his guitar for you to your tune and be certain you sing it with him. Do you play guitar? If now not ask him to train you ways however exhibit curiosity and it's going to be back. Ya simply do not know however then you definitely would uncover out that he is slightly bit Country and your plenty of Rock-n-Roll!

I have said this MANY times before: you and your man take prenatals. It helps your body, and most of the vitamins in it will help the sperm to do their jobs easier. I am a firm believer that this is why I have my baby girl now...
