Frequently Asked Questions
What is preconception counselling?
Preconception counselling is a check-up and guidance session before pregnancy. It reviews your health, medications and lifestyle, updates any needed supplements or vaccinations, and helps prepare your body for a healthy pregnancy.
What health checks are done before pregnancy?
Preconception checks may include a review of your medical history, blood tests, blood pressure, and management of any existing conditions such as diabetes or thyroid problems, along with advice on supplements like folic acid.
When should I start planning for pregnancy?
Ideally, see a doctor a few months before trying to conceive, so any health issues can be addressed and supplements such as folic acid started early. This gives the best foundation for a healthy pregnancy.
What supplements are recommended before pregnancy?
Folic acid is commonly recommended before and in early pregnancy to support the baby's development, and iron or other supplements may be advised based on your health. Your doctor will guide you on what you need.
Why does preconception care matter if I have a health condition?
Conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure or thyroid problems are best well-controlled before pregnancy, as this supports a safer pregnancy from the start. Preconception care helps get things in order and plan ahead.
