FAQs
Preconception refers to the period before pregnancy when couples prepare themselves to enhance fertility and support a healthy pregnancy. This phase involves medical check-ups, lifestyle changes, and planning for conception.
Preparing your body for pregnancy involves maintaining a balanced diet, taking prenatal vitamins like folic acid, exercising regularly, quitting harmful habits like smoking, managing stress, and scheduling a preconception checkup to ensure optimal health.
Preconception tests may include blood tests to check for nutritional deficiencies, hormone levels, immunity to certain diseases, screening for genetic conditions, and an overall health evaluation. Your doctor may also recommend tests for sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Your partner can contribute by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol, and getting medical checkups. Reducing stress and ensuring emotional support also play a crucial role in the preconception phase.
