They're happier in school, do better on exams, ultimately perform better in life. Want to give your baby those advantages? Here are a few things a hopeful mama-to-be can do to increase her chances of adding a baby to the family soon.

  • Appreciate That It May Take Time: The adage holds true for conception: It takes time. Conception does not always happen on your first try, or your second . . . or your third. Doctors recommend to give it at least six months before seeking medical intervention.

  • Try Alternative Medicine: Some women turn to alternative medicine to aid in the getting pregnant. Treatments such as acupuncture has been found to increase chances of conception by improving ovarian and follicular function and increase blood flow to the endometrium, helping to facilitate a thick, rich lining.

  • Try Conventional Medicine: Some women seek the advice of their doctor before starting the process of getting pregnant, while others wait until they've endured six months of trying with no success. Doctors will be able to run a few tests in order to determine the next steps you may wish to take.
