What is Preconception Counseling?
Preconception counseling is a proactive healthcare service that helps identify and manage risk factors prior to pregnancy. Also known as preconceptional counselling, it involves fertility testing, genetic screening, lifestyle adjustments, and emotional support to prepare for a healthy pregnancy.
Our counselors empower you to understand your reproductive health, clear up common myths, and create a customized pre pregnancy plan tailored to your goals.
Why is Preconception Counseling Important?
Pregnancy counseling is important for both the mother and the baby’s health. It helps prevent problems like low birth weight or developmental issues by finding and fixing health problems before getting pregnant. Treating medical conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure early can also make pregnancy outcomes better. By reducing the chance of difficulties and safeguarding the mother’s health, prenatal planning can also lead to better treatment during pregnancy.
Who Should Go for Preconception Counseling?
Preconception counseling is beneficial for all individuals or couples planning to conceive, whether it’s their first child or they have experienced prior pregnancies. Preconception care is recommended for:
- People who already have health issues like diabetes, thyroid problems, or high blood pressure
- Couples actively engaged in pre pregnancy planning
- Spouses with a history of hereditary illnesses in their families.
- Women over 35, can affect the chances of successful pregnancy.
- Those whose lifestyle choices, including smoking, using alcohol, or living under a lot of stress, may have an impact on their capacity to conceive.
- Spouses who have suffered from issues like infertility or miscarriages during previous pregnancies.
- Those who are thinking about using assisted reproductive methods, such in vitro fertilization (IVF), to become parents.
- Pregnancy counseling can assist in identifying and resolving these problems to enhance the health of the mother and fetus.
What Happens at a Preconception Counseling Session?
Preconception counseling session usually entails a conversation with a medical professional, a maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialist, who focuses on maximizing the mother’s and the unborn child’s health. Your medical and family history will be reviewed, any health concerns will be evaluated and tailored advice will be given by the provider during the session. They might talk about ways to get ready for a healthy pregnancy, like changing lifestyle choices, eating a balanced diet, and taking prenatal vitamins. Expect guidance on managing any pre-existing medical issues and when to get pregnant for the best chance of pregnancy.
