Preconception counselling includes talking to the doctor about future pregnancies. It covers almost all the information a person could need before they start trying to conceive. Preconception counselling broadly includes three components:
Understanding medical and family history and risk conditions before planning pregnancy, and ensuring the couple is in optimal health before trying for a pregnancy.
Understanding the biological processes of menstruation and ovulation to ensure quick and easy conception.
Providing emotional and mental support to the woman and her partner in the conception journey.
