Ive noticed that some people try to police your actions even before you conceive. Just mentioning that you want to get pregnant and everyone goes "you should do this or that." or "you should wait." Its my body if I want a baby I have the right to have one. Also be forewarned that those who police your actions during pregnancy will police them after the baby is born as well. and they may be the type to alert authorities out of spite (these are usually neighbors and In-Laws).

I want to know of any foods to eat that I would have better chances of getting pregnant by eating. Im trying to get pregnant by my boyfriends birthday on July 20th.

The pre-pregnancy police can have a devastating effect on your personal decision making process of when and should you get pregnant. I've been wanting a child of my own for over a year now. My husband and I have talked about it, and emotionally we are so incredibly ready to love and nurture and provide for a baby of our own. But when I express these feelings with my friends or my family (mom and grandmother in particular), I get the looks, the huffs and the lectures on how I should wait till we're ready. How I'm in no position to be responsible for another human being, yadda yadda yadda. That was about a year ago, and when I look back on that time, I want to kick myself! We were so much more ready financially back then, had a house, had extra money, and omg... health insurance! We are still 100% emotionally ready, but our financial situation has changed dramatically. You have to be careful about letting other people's views skew your own. I did, and if I hadn't, I might have made different decisions, be in a completely different place now, maybe even had a child of my own.
