Ensuring a secure, healthy, and joyful pregnancy starts well in advance of conception. BirthRight Fertility at Rainbow Hospitals provides preconception services to address various aspects of enhancing your health and preparing for a successful pregnancy. While it is beneficial for all women planning to conceive to attend the clinic, it is particularly crucial for those with pre-existing conditions such as hypertension, epilepsy, diabetes, etc., to avail themselves of these services. The preconception visit not only assists in family planning but also offers contraception choices to prevent unplanned pregnancies.

In instances where women express their intention to "start a family" and seek advice and a check-up, this presents an opportune moment for health promotion. The medical professionals at BirthRight Fertility by Rainbow Hospitals recognize the diversity in family structures and the unique paths individuals take to parenthood. The primary objective is to provide guidance on initiating a family successfully.

Our focus is on minimizing risks for the fetus, woman, and neonate. We collaborate with women to optimize their health, educate them about healthy pregnancies, and address potential risk factors. Managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, thyroid issues, hypertension, and psychiatric illnesses is vital before pregnancy to enhance outcomes. We conduct a thorough review of medications, including herbal products and nutritional supplements that may impact pregnancy and reproduction.

Additionally, we offer screening for genetic conditions, assess immunization status, and consider screening for sexually transmitted infections when necessary. Couples are counseled on potential exposure to infectious diseases and advised on waiting times before attempting conception. Questions about the use of drugs, alcohol, and nicotine products are addressed, and screening for the partner is also considered.

Encouraging preconception folic acid supplementation is part of our approach to reducing the risk of neural tube defects. Nutritional counseling is provided to ensure a balanced diet and proper vitamin supplementation based on recommended daily intake. Attaining a normal Body Mass Index (BMI) is emphasized, as abnormal BMI is linked to pregnancy complications and infertility. Our comprehensive preconception services aim to support individuals in their journey toward a healthy and successful pregnancy.

Also, a healthy and well-balanced diet is extremely important. Good nutrition is needed during pregnancy for the growth and development of your baby. Establishing a good diet before getting pregnant can help maintain good eating habits throughout pregnancy.

Specialized physicians help prepare the body for successful conception.
