Thinking About Having a Baby?

One of the first things you’ll need to do is have a pre-conception screening. This is an important step because it looks for any medical conditions that might affect the pregnancy or your baby. Many women take a lot of time to get ready for a baby emotionally, but getting ready physically is just as important.

Does Everyone Need a Pre-Conception Screening?

Yes. A pre-conception appointment is particularly important for those who are older (30s-40s); for those who have chronic health conditions, and for those who have already had a premature baby, a baby with a birth defect, a miscarriage, or stillbirth. However, anyone who is planning on becoming pregnant should undergo a pre-conception screening in order to make 100% sure that their body is prepared to have a baby.
