Preconception Counselling
Optimizing maternal and paternal health, genetic readiness, and nutritional status before embarking on pregnancy.
The journey to a healthy baby begins months before conception. Preconception counselling at Prera Women’s Hospital provides couples with medical insights, screening evaluations, and lifestyle optimizations that establish the healthiest possible environment for conception and early embryonic development.
During your preconception consultation, our specialists evaluate your medical history, optimize chronic conditions (like thyroid, diabetes, or hypertension), check immunity against rubella and chickenpox, initiate vital folic acid supplementation to prevent neural tube defects, and discuss ovulation tracking.
