Every woman's dream is to become mother and feel her baby in the lap. Motherhood is the ultimate dream role which makes a women complete. However to get pregnant is sometime very easy for few but conceiving a child can be elusive and frustrating for some. By following some tips you can conceive soon and don't have to wait long and long for your baby.

Keep yourself stress free.
Have a good sleep.
Quit smoking and drinking. Also quit caffeine.
Take Folic acid (vitamin B-9), this plays an essential role in a baby's development. A daily prenatal vitamin or folic acid supplement beginning a few months before conception significantly reduces the risk of spina bifida and other neural tube defects.

Knowing your Ovulation date:

1. Menstruation cycle:

You must know your monthly cycle. If you have a regular 28 day cycle your ovulation occurs 14 days after the first day of menstruation (First day of your menstruation is the day 1). So you must have intercourse 2, 3 days before ovulation as egg rests in the body only for 12 - 24 hrs.
This method won't work if cycles are short, irregular or unpredictable.
If menstrual cycles are more than 28 days long but are consistent, subtract 18 from the average number of days in your cycles. On that day in the cycle is when ovulation can be expected to take place.
