Preconceptional Counseling

Preparing for pregnancy begins before conception. Preconceptional counselling helps couples understand and optimize their health before trying to conceive, ensuring a safe and healthy start for both mother and baby.

What is Preconceptional Counselling?

Preconceptional counselling helps women and couples prepare for a healthy pregnancy before conception. It aims to identify and manage potential risk factors that could impact fertility or pregnancy outcomes.

What does it cover?

It includes a review of medical history, vaccinations, lifestyle factors, and genetic risks. The goal is to create a plan that promotes fertility, hormonal balance, and overall reproductive wellness.

Diagnosis & Treatment

Doctors may recommend tests, nutritional supplements like folic acid, and lifestyle adjustments such as healthy weight management and stress reduction. Any medical conditions are addressed before conception.

When to see a doctor:

Couples planning pregnancy, especially those with prior miscarriages or chronic health issues, should visit an obstetrician for preconception counselling at least a few months before trying to conceive.
