Pre-Pregnancy Counselling
Pre-pregnancy counselling is a proactive health consultation that helps individuals or couples prepare for a healthy pregnancy. It involves evaluating medical, lifestyle, and genetic factors that could affect fertility, pregnancy, or the baby’s health. The goal is to optimize the health of both partners before conception.
What does it include?
- Reviewing medical and family history
- Checking for chronic conditions like diabetes or thyroid issues
- Nutritional guidance and starting folic acid supplements
- Vaccination updates
- Addressing lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol, stress, weight)
- Discussing fertility awareness and ideal timing for conception
Pre-pregnancy counselling empowers couples with the right knowledge and support, helping ensure a smooth and healthy pregnancy journey right from the start.
