Preconception counseling is recommended when you have a pre-existing condition or family history that may affect the outcome of your pregnancy. This is where a Maternal-Fetal medicine specialist may be helpful to you.<\/p>\n
For those without such histories it is still recommended that you be evaluated before you get pregnant to review your medical history, your family\u2019s history and heritage, undergo a physical exam, and have any necessary testing including a Pap smear and blood work as appropriate. Any concerns or questions that you have can be addressed at that time as well. You are encouraged to take a multivitamin and folic acid before you conceive.<\/p>\n
Once you have conceived, we encourage you to make an appointment as soon as possible with your obstetrician.<\/p>\n<\/div>
