What is Pre-Pregnancy Planning?
Pre-pregnancy planning involves taking proactive steps to optimize your health and well-being before conceiving. This comprehensive approach not only enhances your chances of conceiving but also sets the foundation for a healthy pregnancy and baby.
Key Aspects of Pre-Pregnancy Planning
- Preconception Counselling: Dr Lauren offers personalized counselling sessions to discuss your medical history, lifestyle factors, and any concerns you may have. During these sessions, she can provide valuable information on prenatal vitamins, diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications to maximize your fertility and overall health.
- Health Assessment: A thorough health assessment is conducted to identify any pre-existing medical conditions or risk factors that may affect your pregnancy. This may include screening for conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or genetic disorders, and managing them effectively before conception.
- Immunizations: Ensuring that you are up-to-date on necessary vaccinations is crucial for protecting both you and your baby during pregnancy. Our team will review your immunization status and recommend any additional vaccines that may be required before conception.
- Medication Review: It’s essential to review any medications you are currently taking to determine their safety during pregnancy. Dr Lauren will work closely with you and your healthcare provider to adjust medications or find suitable alternatives if necessary.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Adopting a healthy lifestyle is key to optimizing fertility and promoting a healthy pregnancy. We provide guidance on maintaining a balanced diet, engaging in regular exercise, managing stress, avoiding harmful substances such as tobacco and alcohol, and achieving a healthy weight before conceiving.
- Genetic Counselling: For couples with a family history of genetic conditions or concerns about inherited disorders, genetic counselling may be recommended. Dr Lauren can arrange comprehensive evaluations, genetic testing, and informed decision-making support to help you understand your risks and make informed choices.
- Fertility Evaluation: If you have been trying to conceive without success, Dr Lauren can conduct a thorough evaluation to identify any underlying issues and recommend appropriate treatment options to help you achieve your goal of starting a family.
