Preconception counseling is when a woman meets with her OB-GYN before she tries to get pregnant. The goal is to make sure she is in the best possible health before conceiving, which can improve the chances of having a healthy pregnancy and baby.
The visit is a chance for you to ask questions, share any concerns, and make sure you’re physically and mentally ready for pregnancy. The goal is to address any issues now so you have the healthiest possible pregnancy when the time comes.
