Preconception Planning
|
|
Prior to considering pregnancy, a healthy lifestyle is
important. You should optimize your weight and diet, as well as
start on prescription prenatal vitamins containing 1 mg Folic Acid.
Often we recommend augmenting both parents-to-be with
additional vitamins to optimize the chance of conception and
continuing the pregnancy.
It is important to have a thorough GYN evaluation to
see if mechanical issues, such as endometriosis, fibroids, polyps,
or polycystic ovaries, would potentially adversely affect your
chance of success. Dr. McLaughlin and his staff will do their
utmost to detect potential pathology and treat it prior to your
trying to conceive.
