A Relaxing Couple’s Vacation - Just What the Doctor Ordered for Preconception

Host | 13 November 2006 |

Relax! I bet you never thought that a vacation would be a doctor’s prescription? Amazingly, this is exactly what doctors are recommending to encourage conception. Relaxation can often elude couples while at home and dealing with the daily stresses of life. Often taking time to do the little things such as candlelight dinners, sinking into a Jacuzzi tub, and spa massages are the last considerations at home.

These are a few of the therapeutic things that a vacation allows couples to take time and enjoy. With a vacation, couples can escape the stress of life and relax together. A vacation escape is becoming the key to aiding conception. Toni Weschler, the author of Taking Charge of Your Fertility, says that “stress can affect the functioning of the hypothalamus - the gland in the brain that regulates your appetite and emotions, as well as the hormones that tell your ovaries to release eggs.” Also, in the article Couples go on ‘procreation vacations’, Dr Jason James of Miami says, “I think the effect of stress on our physiology is truly underestimated.” Resorts are starting to accommodate these needs by offering services with expert doctors to give couples romantic advice. So the next time you’re looking to expand your family, take time and enjoy each other with a relaxing vacation!
