Conscious Conception or Intentional Conception is an idea that involves spiritual, practical, and physical calling in of your baby. It is family planning at a deeper level that acknowledges practical, physical, relational, and spiritual preparation for parenthood. It is the practice of bringing awareness and intention to the pre-pregnancy time. Conscious conception is uniquely designed by you. It can happen in the days, weeks, months, or years before you start trying to conceive.
