Hi I'm new to all this. I am 32 and looking to get pregnant. Please send me any tips you have all I know to do is look through donors but that's about it. Just trying to figure things out wanting start the pregnancy process by September so need to start looking in to donors and stuff now
Comments
I began eating my pregnancy diet as soon as I started the process. Helped me stay on track and keep my weight gain down. Though it was surely hard to give up sushi for almost three years while trying! But it did help with the budget issue mentioned in point one.
As for picking a donor, decide what your wish list is and priorities it. For me, it was avoiding health risks that I know my side has as number one. Then looks, I wanted to pick a do or that looked like my family to maximize the chances that my baby would look like me. Then third came personal answers and the audio. I listened to the audio of one donor that I really liked and his voice grated on me so I had to switch.
Lastly, as tough as it is, relax and enjoy the process. I know that sounds impossible and sometimes it will feel that way but remember why you are doing it and the joy you will feel when your little one arrives.
Best of luck! May it be an easy and quick journey for you.
