Healthy omega-3 fats can be found in fatty fish, such as salmon or sardines. (Koniver recommends the Web site… Women can also consider massage and relaxation treatments before pregnancy. Paige Bickar, a licensed massage therapist who offers fertility massage and pregnancy massage, helps women get ready for pregnancy with reflexology, acupressure and cranial sacral techniques.
