Preconception Counselling
Conception counselling is a type of preconception counselling service by experts to discuss the various factors that can affect a woman’s ability to conceive and have a healthy pregnancy. Conception counselling can help women and couples prepare for pregnancy by identifying any potential risks or concerns and providing information on how to optimize their health before and during pregnancy. It can also help identify any fertility or genetic issues that may affect their ability to conceive or have a healthy pregnancy and guide them towards appropriate testing and treatment options.
Chella IVF has expert obstetricians to deliver comprehensive counselling services for natural conception. It helps them to optimize their reproductive health and promotes natural pregnancy by identifying potential risks pre and post-pregnancy.
Treatments
Preconception counselling includes the following treatment procedures
- Assessment of medical history and current health status: We evaluate the individual or couple’s medical history, current health status, and any medications they are taking to identify any potential risk factors that could impact their ability to conceive or have a healthy pregnancy.
- Lifestyle counselling: We counsel the individual or couple on lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, smoking, alcohol, and drug use that can affect fertility and pregnancy outcomes.
- Genetic counselling: Our experts even offer genetic counselling to assess the individual or couple’s risk of having a child with a genetic disorder based on their family history and ethnicity.
- Identification of potential complications: Our obstetricians discuss potential pregnancy complications such as gestational diabetes, hypertension, and pre-eclampsia and how to manage them.
- Education on preconception care: We also educate the individual or couple on the importance of preconception care, including taking folic acid supplements, managing chronic health conditions, and getting up-to-date on vaccinations.
- Development of a preconception plan: Based on the assessment, the healthcare provider develops a personalised preconception plan for the individual or couple that outlines steps to optimise their health and increase their chances of a healthy pregnancy.
