Preconception counseling

To prepare well for a pregnancy, it may be useful to make an appointment at our practice for preconception counseling. We will give you personalized advice on how to have a healthy pregnancy and help you understand your menstrual cycle. If you are taking any medications for a chronic illness, this requires extra attention before pregnancy. It may be necessary to change this medication if you have a desire to have a child or stop taking certain medications. It is also important to know if there are any hereditary and/or congenital abnormalities in your close family. If this is the case, we will refer you to a clinical geneticist. Genetic testing can sometimes take 4-6 months, so it is important to have it done in a timely manner.
