Are you thinking about starting or expanding your family? Seeing us for an appointment before getting pregnant can be a game changer for having a healthy pregnancy! Some things we may discuss at that appointment include:
1. Preconception Health Assessment – We can evaluate your overall health, identify any medical conditions (such as diabetes or high blood pressure) and make sure they are optimally managed, and recommend lifestyle changes to optimize fertility and pregnancy health.
2. Medication and Supplement Guidance – We can advise on necessary vitamins (like folic acid) and supplements, and ensure any medications you take are safe for pregnancy.
3. Screening for Genetic Risks – If needed, genetic testing can help assess potential inherited conditions that may affect your baby.
4. Planning for a Healthy Pregnancy – We can discuss weight management, nutrition, and exercise recommendations to support a healthy pregnancy.
In addition to this- being already established with us means you have easier and earlier access to care and timely medical attention if complications arise. We can help manage pregnancy symptoms as the earliest sign, and increase your changes of having a smoother, healthier pregnancy and delivery.
