Set aside salt, pepper, garlic powder and sweetener such as sugar or a sugar substitute. Include your favorite spices. Tasteless food can be demoralizing. Include olive or corn oil for cooking and flavoring food. Box up basic food preparation tools and utensils to store with emergency food supplies. Make sure you have a can opener, eating utensils, and a cup. Also store a gel-fuel or butane stove with backups of cooking fuel.
Also, if you take the classes too early in your pregnancy, you may forget the information over time. I recommend that you plan to attend prenatal classes between 26-36 weeks in your pregnancy, and ideally completing the classes 4 weeks before your baby is due.
Take a Prenatal Supplement. Aside from eating a healthy diet, you should take prenatal vitamins to ensure you are receiving all of the vitamins and minerals in the correct dosage. Your doctor will most likely recommend you take a prenatal supplement as a part of your pre-pregnancy preparation. B6 in particular has been shown to increase fertility in women, while B12 helps men with low sperm counts. 2  Vitamin C (1,000mg/day): Lack of this antioxidant can cause sperm to clump together, obviously not ideal behavior for sperm when youâre trying to conceive.
