Preconception Counselling in Indore: Your Pre-Pregnancy Check-Up
Planning a baby? A pre-pregnancy check-up reviews health, medicines, vaccines, tests and diet so you start pregnancy in the best shape. Know what to expect.
The healthiest pregnancies often begin before conception. Preconception counselling is a planned visit, ideally three to six months before trying, to identify and manage anything that could affect fertility, pregnancy or the baby. At Asian Navkar Hospital, Indore, this visit is available for all couples, and especially for those with medical conditions, previous pregnancy problems or plans to conceive after 35.
