Romance
Why?
It's important to remember that you want a baby to come from a loving relationship between two people who have made the decision to enhance their lives by making a baby together and bringing it up as part of their family. Research has shown that if you are relaxed and enjoy making love you are more likely to conceive.
What you can do
You already know what to do. It's the same stuff you did when you first met:
Do a list of ten things you enjoy doing together (going for a walk, candlelit dinner, cinema etc.) and make sure you do one or two of these things each week.
Take time out and just enjoy being together as a couple.
Just because you may be making love when dictated to by ovulation, you can still make it special by creating a sensual atmosphere: lighting candles, burning essential oils, playing sensual music. You might even try giving each other a massage or doing some loving tantric exercises together.
Make love at other times as well whenever you feel like it.
Talk positively together about having a baby and the changes it will have on your life and plan how you will adjust to these changes and challenges together.
Talk about any outstanding issues or concerns either of you have about bringing a baby into your lives.
