Preconceptional Care
Preconception care refers to the comprehensive medical, behavioral, and social health services that women and couples receive before becoming pregnant. This essential form of care is designed to optimize pregnancy outcomes by ensuring that individuals are in optimal physical, mental, and emotional health before conception occurs. At Mai Mother Care, Dr. Meenal Warade provides personalized preconception counseling to help couples prepare for a healthy pregnancy journey.
The core goal of preconception care is to improve reproductive health by addressing a wide range of factors including nutrition optimization, management of chronic medical conditions, lifestyle modifications, infection prevention, mental health support, and genetic counseling. This proactive approach allows individuals to make informed decisions about their health and fertility, ensuring they are comprehensively prepared for pregnancy.
Our preconception care program includes detailed health assessments, nutritional counseling, supplement recommendations, lifestyle modification guidance, and ongoing support throughout your preparation journey. We believe that proper preparation is the foundation of a healthy pregnancy and successful birth outcomes.
