Preconception and Fertility Health Care
Preconception health care is an approach whereby both parents look at ways to improve their health before they decide to conceive. By taking this approach - parents avoid passing down their health issues to their prospective child as well as having a profound effect on the health of the baby and improving pregnancy outcomes.
The preconception period carries the most risk to foetal development. When preconception care occurs before a couple has conceived the risk of allergies, genetic issues and developmental and learning disorders are less likely to occur in the offspring.
Preconception health care also benefits pregnancy and birth outcomes and reduces the risk of miscarriage and prematurity.
Natural fertility care also involves the monitoring of the body’s natural rhythms and fertility symptoms which include both observation of cervical mucous and the basal body temperature. These methods can be used in contraception, conscious preconception as well as management of fertility.
At Darling St Health Centre we draw on both medical and naturopathic diagnosis to ensure all possible compromising factors have been assessed well before conception takes place.
