Preconception Counseling
Having a safe, healthy and happy pregnancy begins well before you have a positive result on a test. Caring for your health before you become pregnant helps you prepare for a pregnancy. Preconception counseling is a visit with your healthcare provider where you discuss many aspects of pregnancy and plan for a healthy pregnancy.
Preconception Plans
To give yourself and your baby the best chance at a healthy pregnancy, your health care should begin before you even conceive. Preconception counseling helps you identify risks to your fertility – social, behavioral, environmenta, and biomedical – and the outcome of your pregnancy so you can reduce those risks. A preconception plan helps you find ways to reduce those risks through education, counseling, and intervention if necessary.
