Preconception Counseling FAQs

Why Should I Consider Preconception Counseling?

Preconception counseling aims to optimize your health before pregnancy, ensuring you are physically, mentally, and emotionally ready. It’s not just about addressing immediate concerns; it’s about planning for a healthy pregnancy and giving you the best foundation for conceiving and carrying a baby to full term. By addressing potential risks and making adjustments to your lifestyle, you can increase the chances of a smooth, healthy pregnancy. Once you’ve had a preconception visit with Dr. Thompson you’re guaranteed a spot in the practice when you get that positive pregnancy test.

When Should I Schedule a Preconception Counseling Appointment?

Ideally, preconception counseling in Palo Alto should be scheduled with Dr. Thompson at least three to six months before you start trying to conceive. This gives us ample time to address any health concerns, conduct necessary tests, and ensure that you are physically ready. If you’re already planning to conceive, it’s still beneficial to start the counseling process as soon as possible.

What Will Happen During My Preconception Counseling Session?

During your appointment, Dr. Thompson will review your medical history, discuss any existing health conditions, and explore your family’s health background. Together, we will review lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and stress levels that can influence fertility and pregnancy. Dr. Thompson will also guide you through the latest fertility practices and may suggest blood tests, screenings, or vaccinations that could help ensure you’re in the best health possible.

Can Preconception Counseling Help if I’ve Had Previous Pregnancy Complications?

Absolutely. If you’ve experienced complications in a past pregnancy, preconception counseling is crucial. Dr. Thompson will examine your history and help identify any underlying issues that could affect future pregnancies. Whether it’s managing a chronic condition or addressing past complications, we’ll create a strategy that maximizes your chances of a healthy pregnancy.
