Preconception Guide: Health, Diet & Lifestyle Tips

Hey there, future mums and dads!

Super happy to see you here.

You are ready to be parents, and I am ready to help you get there.

Let’s start from the start, i.e. Preconception.

Step one, schedule a health check-up. It's crucial to check for any underlying conditions like beta-thalassemia, PCOS, or thyroid issues. Early detection helps you make informed decisions when planning for a child.

Next is lifestyle. Yes, the biggest joy of your life will need the smallest changes in your lifestyle. Here’s how you can make those tiny changes that will go a long way in your pregnancy journey:

The F in Fertility stands for food. So, eat your fruits and veggies. Avoid raw, uncooked eggs and all kinds of junk at all costs.

You already know you must stay away from alcohol and quit smoking completely during this journey. 

Moderate exercise, stress management and meditation will help you get there, one day at a time. So, try your best to get more active and reduce stress.

Also, preconception counselling can help you navigate your conception journey, so you should definitely try it. Your healthcare provider can give you personalised advice on diet, exercise, and managing any chronic conditions or medications.

For any questions or doubts, Apollo doctors and our supportive community are always here for you.
