A healthy pregnancy often starts before conception. Preconception counseling gives you the chance to walk in with your questions and walk out with a plan, so you can begin this chapter feeling prepared rather than uncertain.<\/span><\/p>\nWho it’s for<\/b><\/p>\n
Preconception counseling benefits anyone who is planning a pregnancy and wants to build the best possible foundation. It’s especially helpful if you have a medical condition, a history of pregnancy complications or recurrent pregnancy loss, genetic concerns, or you take medications that could affect pregnancy. The goal is to identify potential risks, answer your questions, and create a plan to support the healthiest possible pregnancy from the very beginning.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat the appointment covers<\/b><\/p>\n
Your physician reviews your medical, surgical, obstetric, and family history. Based on that full picture, your physician may recommend additional testing, referrals, or consultations with other specialists to address any concerns before pregnancy. The focus is on identifying conditions, medications, or other factors that could affect your ability to conceive or carry a healthy pregnancy, while there’s still time to plan around them.<\/span><\/p>\nA note on insurance<\/b><\/p>\n

That’s the entire purpose of meeting before pregnancy, and it’s a path we navigate together.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>FAQ <\/b><\/h2><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Who should consider preconception counseling?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nAnyone planning a pregnancy benefits, and it’s especially valuable for those with a medical condition, prior pregnancy complications, recurrent pregnancy loss, genetic concerns, or medications that could affect pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>What does a preconception counseling appointment cover?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nYour physician reviews your medical, surgical, obstetric, and family history, then may recommend additional testing, referrals, or specialist consultations to address concerns before pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Is preconception counseling covered by insurance?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\n
