For A While Is It Possible For My Body To Become Healthy Enough To Deliver A Healthy Child?
Question: I have developed bad PICA in a year or so and I’m tryna control my urges as best as I can. My question is if I stop for a while is it possible for my body to become healthy enough to deliver a healthy child? I’d like to get pregnant but I’m afraid that my poor diet habits could ruin that for me.
Brief Answer:
Need not worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Yes, stop giving into cravings. It is very much essential to be on a healthy diet when anxious to get pregnant.
Usually, PICA is an effect of hormonal imbalance which can be seen due to irregular periods and even in pregnancy.
Do get yourself checked for pregnancy once.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
