Pre-pregnancy Counselling
Preparing for pregnancy
with prenatal counselling
Planning a pregnancy is a very exciting time in a woman’s life. But it can also be a very daunting and stressful time, especially if a woman has any underlying medical conditions. At Coastal O&G we offer prenatal counselling and management to prepare you (and your partner) for the journey of pregnancy.
Pre-pregnancy care may involve optimising pre-existing conditions, ensuring your vaccinations are up to date and discussing prenatal genetic testing. At Coastal O&G we will provide you with concise up-to-date information on various topics such as how to maximise your fertility.
Do you have any underlying medical conditions?
During pregnancy your body undergoes significant physiological changes and this can have a great effect on underlying medical conditions or medications. With effective prenatal counselling, you can optimise your body to prepare it for pregnancy. This is essential to reduce the chance of adverse outcomes on you or your future child.
