Pre-Pregnancy Planning
Building the Foundation for a Healthy Baby
Taking proactive steps before conception is the single best way to ensure a smooth pregnancy and a healthy future for your baby. Our Pre-Pregnancy Planning service is a personalized health roadmap designed to optimize your well-being, manage chronic conditions, and assess your reproductive potential.
Led by Dr. Milind Colvalcar, our senior gynaecologist, we combine comprehensive health assessments with tailored guidance. We empower you to make informed choices, giving your future baby the best possible start.
What to Expect: Your Comprehensive Preconception Assessment
The goal of our planning process is to identify and address any potential risks before pregnancy occurs. We provide a full-spectrum review tailored to your individual history and goals.
Detailed Health and Lifestyle Review
- Medical History Check: Reviewing vaccinations, past surgeries, and family history (including genetic risks) to identify potential concerns.
- Current Medication & Supplement Review: Adjusting or discontinuing medications (like certain acne treatments or blood pressure drugs) that could be harmful during pregnancy.
- Lifestyle Optimization: Counseling on diet, exercise, stress management, and cessation of smoking/alcohol. This aligns perfectly with our Women's Holistic Wellness approach to health.
- Weight Management: Guidance for achieving a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI), which significantly impacts fertility and reduces pregnancy complications.
Chronic Condition Management
If you have existing conditions like diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, or autoimmune disease, optimal management before conception is vital. We work to stabilize these conditions and adjust treatment plans to be safe for pregnancy.
Fertility Check-up and Reproductive Health Assessment
If you are over 35 or have been trying to conceive for six months without success, a fertility assessment becomes a core part of your pre-pregnancy planning.
- Ovarian Reserve Testing: Simple blood tests (e.g., AMH) to assess egg quantity.
- Uterine Health Screening: Using ultrasound to check for structural issues like fibroids (which may require Laparoscopic Surgery before pregnancy) or polyps.
- Male Factor Assessment: Recommendations for semen analysis, as male health contributes to 50% of fertility challenges.
