Importance of preconception care
Preconception care helps to identify and address any health issues that may affect a pregnancy and baby’s well-being. By understanding your health and making any necessary changes, you can improve fertility, reduce the risk of birth defects, and enhance the chances of a healthy pregnancy and birth. Ideally, both partners should participate in preconception care. It ensures that both of you are in good health and increases the chances of a successful pregnancy.
What you will learn
It’s never too early to start thinking about preconception care! Ideally you should start thinking about preconception care at least three to six months before trying for a baby. This allows enough time to make any necessary lifestyle changes, address health concerns, and optimise your chances of a healthy pregnancy.
Folic acid is one of the most important supplements recommended during preconception and early pregnancy. It helps prevent neural tube defects in the developing baby. Your GP, midwife or doctor may also recommend other supplements based on your individual health needs.
