Pre-Pregnancy Counselling

Seeing a doctor at POGS before your pregnancy will help us to optimise your chances of a successful and healthy pregnancy. Although most women are healthy and have normal pregnancies, a pre-pregnancy consultation will help us identify issues that may have an impact on your pregnancy.

Some of the issues we address at pre-pregnancy visits include:

• Medical conditions
  
• Family health history
  
• Mental health history
  
• Reproductive history
  
• Infections and vaccinations
  
• Diet and supplements
  
• Weight
  
• Lifestyle
  
• Exercise
  
• Workplace and home environment
• Genetic carrier screening tests
