Fertility Problems after your First Child

Fertility Problems after your First Child

Secondary fertility issues

While you may not have had a preexisting fertility problem, something may have happened since the birth of your first child to make you have problems conceiving. Think back to your delivery: Were there any complications that may have influenced your fertility? What about any medication you’ve taken, trauma during pregnancy or lifestyle changes, such as increased stress? “Stress can seriously limit your chances of becoming pregnant,” says Dr. Sushma Shah. Food sensitivities, Candida and an unhealthy diet can also cause fertility issues.
