Best milk for babies, best toys to play with, best stimulation for their intellect, best care possible and best school for when it's time to study. There's nothing wrong with wanting only the best for your child, but some missed out the fact that before pre-natal, there is also a very important stage that is pre-conception.<br /> <br /> In as much as giving "the best" is essential to a developing child, it is not the be-all and end-all factor that a parent should consider in purporting to have one healthy and intelligent child. Pre-natal care is important too, but a lot of people knows that already. What's getting the least attention and one that is equally important, is the pre-conception stage. Albeit your child gets only the best kind, and he had received first-rate pre-natal care, is he a product of a good embryo to begin with? Is that child, who came from an embryo then a fetus, a product of a good egg and sperm cell of the mother and the father? The effort to make your child the best that he can be should not start on the point when you're choosing the best school that you can afford, or perhaps the best milk that is available in the market. Neither should you start when the baby is still in the womb, having a healthy diet and living a healthy life. It is best to start from the beginning and before you even conceive the baby. Needless to say, it is easy to imagine the optimum level a child of a good embryo can reach. How well the parents-to-be are taking care of themselves before conception influence the kind of egg and sperm cells they produce.<br /> <br /> Thus, pre-conception care is not limited to the woman-parent but the man-parent as well. About three years ago, my husband --then, fiance'- and I theorized that cellphone bases had something to do with heart problems of his male co-workers' babies. The daughter of one had a hole in her heart and the child of another had some obscure heart ailment. The only common denominator that they have is that they both work in a telecom station with cellular phone bases. There are recent claims that we have reason to avoid such bases, and a man's health is as important as that of a woman's and both should take extra care of themselves when planning to have a baby.<br /> <br /> I wish I could recall specifically the statistics mentioned in one study conducted of parents obsessively giving "the best" they can give to their child but forgetting other factors that are necessary for a child's optimum development.<br /> <br /> I remember when I was in college, our chemistry professor once said that the best eggs in a woman come out about 12years after her first menstruation. That is, the quality of egg is at it's best at that time. However, generations today are not very concerned with egg quality. More often than not, they choose career first or life status before going on the path of pregnancy. While it is responsible to do so, it is critical to recognize the age as a weighty factor in having quality eggs. There's a reason why older women tend to have more fertility problems than younger women.<br /> <br /> Caring for your babies and wanting the best for him is not just about giving what you can give before or after his birth. It is also about caring for yourself before you even conceive a life and guaranteeing that you give the best of what you can give. And it goes for both men and women.<br /> <br><a href="http://mercylase.wordpress.com">More From The Author</a>
