Pre-pregnancy counseling is a service that aims to help women and couples plan for a healthy pregnancy and birth. At Seema Clinic, we understand that the journey to parenthood can be filled with questions and concerns. Our pre-pregnancy counseling is designed to provide guidance, address health conditions, and make necessary lifestyle modifications even before you conceive.

Why is it important?

Pre-pregnancy counseling is crucial because it paves the way for a healthy pregnancy and delivery. It allows for early detection and management of any health conditions or lifestyle factors that could affect the pregnancy. This includes chronic medical conditions, genetic disorders, lifestyle habits, current medications, and vaccination status.

What does it involve?

Our pre-pregnancy counseling service at Seema Clinic is comprehensive and includes:

• Health Assessment: A thorough evaluation of your physical health, including the management of any chronic medical conditions, understanding your nutritional status, and checking your mental health.
• Lifestyle Counseling: We offer guidance on maintaining a healthy lifestyle to enhance your fertility and the chances of a healthy pregnancy. This includes advice on diet, physical activity, and assistance with quitting smoking or limiting alcohol intake.
• Genetic Counseling: If you have a family history of genetic disorders, our experts will help you understand the risks and guide you about potential prenatal tests.
• Medication Review: We review any prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and supplements that you’re currently taking, to ensure they’re safe for pregnancy or suggest necessary changes.
• Menstrual Cycle and Fertility Awareness: Understanding your menstrual cycle can significantly improve your chances of conception. We provide counseling regarding menstrual tracking and carry out necessary procedures like an ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis, and follicular studies.

Who needs it?

All women considering pregnancy can benefit from pre-pregnancy counseling. However, it’s particularly essential for those with existing medical conditions, those who have had complications in previous pregnancies, those over the age of 35, or individuals with lifestyle factors that could impact pregnancy.

When to seek pre-pregnancy counseling?

We recommend seeking pre-pregnancy counseling at least three months before you plan to start trying for a baby. However, it’s never too early to start preparing for a healthy pregnancy. Dr. Seema and her team are always ready to provide you with the necessary guidance and care.
