Seeing a doctor before your pregnancy will help us to optimise your chances of a successful and healthy pregnancy. Although most women are healthy and have normal pregnancies, a pre-pregnancy consultation will help us identify issues that may have an impact on your pregnancy.
Some of the issues we address at pre-pregnancy visits include:
- Medical conditions
- Family health history
- Mental health history
- Reproductive history
- Infections and vaccinations
- Diet and supplements
- Weight
- Lifestyle
- Exercise
- Workplace and home environment
- Reproductive carrier screening tests
