Preconception Care

If you’re trying to have a baby or simply considering it, it’s never too early to prepare for a safe pregnancy and a healthy baby. Preconception care involves steps you take before becoming pregnant to ensure both your health and your future baby’s well-being. The chances of conceiving a healthy baby are higher when both partners are in good health. 

Preconception care is especially beneficial for: 

• Individuals with medical conditions like diabetes or epilepsy 

• Those struggling with infertility 

• People at risk of passing on genetic conditions, such as sickle cell disease, to their baby.
