What is Pre-pregnancy Counseling?

It is a meeting with your healthcare professional to discuss your plans for a future pregnancy. Your family history, risk factors, medical issues, and lifestyle are discussed. This appointment is an important aspect of having a healthy and planned pregnancy. This consultation should take place at least three months before you conceive.

 

What Happens During Pre-pregnancy Counseling?

The doctor may perform several tests during pre-pregnancy counseling. These tests may include:

Physical examination

The doctor may examine your heart, lungs, breasts, thyroid, and abdomen.

 

  • Pelvic exam.
  • Blood pressure reading.
  • Keeping track of the weight.

 

Lab tests are used to diagnose a variety of diseases and ailments. Lab tests may include:

 

  • CBC
  • Rubella test
  • Hepatitis test
  • Pap smear
  • Blood glucose test
  • Thyroid test
  • HIV test

The doctor may also go over keeping track of your menstrual cycles and when you ovulate each month. A prenatal vitamin with folic acid may be prescribed. This is something you should start taking before you become pregnant. A prenatal vitamin can help your baby even before you realize you are expecting.

 

If you have a family history of genetic issues, the doctor may recommend you and your spouse genetic counseling before conceiving. This method will provide your doctor a wealth of information that will be useful throughout your pregnancy.
