Everyone knows that there are things that must be avoided throughout a pregnancy, but most people don't realize that avoiding certain foods, before pregnancy occurs, can increase fertility chances.

Additionally, foods high in calories and fat can lead to weight gain, which is also known to keep women from getting pregnant. Stay away from these six food groups, your fertility chances will increase, and your overall health will be a better environment for a baby's health and development. Outlaw Food #1 - Alcoholic drinks. Most women are careful to eliminate alcohol from their diets during a pregnancy because of its harmful effects on the baby.

If this is news to you, keep reading. Alcohol and tobacco consumption could be the reason why you are having difficulty getting pregnant. Reason You Should Quit #1 - Alcohol decreases sex drive in both men and women. While alcohol can decrease inhibitions, it ultimately does not help things out in the bedroom. Alcohol, even consumed at moderate levels, will lower sex drive in both men and women. Not having intercourse will not lead to pregnancy; so both of you need to stay away from the bottle when trying to get pregnant.
