Focus on Root Causes Through Pre- and Perinatal Counseling and Lifestyle Guidance
A Healthy Pregnancy Begins with Awareness and Partnership
For couples planning a pregnancy or in its earliest weeks, antenatal counseling is a holistic first step that assesses the health of both parents and prepares the best possible foundation for the baby’s development.
At our clinic, this process goes beyond medical evaluation — it includes psychosocial, familial, and lifestyle factors, ensuring that the journey toward parenthood begins in balance.
Why It Matters
Antenatal counseling ensures that pregnancy begins on the right physical, emotional, and medical foundation.
Potential risks are identified early, preventive measures are taken in time, and both maternal and fetal health are safeguarded.
Equally important, the process encourages joint participation of both partners, building mutual awareness and emotional readiness — the cornerstone of a healthy family and future generations.
What It Includes
Comprehensive Health Evaluation
Assessing both partners is essential for a healthy pregnancy:
- Previous pregnancies, miscarriages, or preterm births
- Family history of genetic or hereditary diseases
- Chronic conditions (thyroid disorders, diabetes, hypertension, etc.)
- Past surgeries or infections
Lifestyle Assessment
Daily habits can directly influence conception and pregnancy health:
- Smoking, alcohol, caffeine, or substance use
- Nutrition and weight management
- Work stress and physical activity level
Physical Examination and Laboratory Screening
A full evaluation helps establish a detailed health profile:
- Height, weight, blood pressure, and pulse
- Gynecological examination and Pap smear (if needed)
- Blood and urine tests:
- Complete blood count, fasting glucose, TSH
- Liver and kidney function tests
- TORCH panel, VDRL, HBsAg
Involving the Father
Pregnancy is not only about the mother’s body — the father’s health and readiness also play a role:
- Family history of genetic diseases
- Fertility and reproductive history
- Chronic conditions and stress level
- Emotional readiness and partner support capacity
Guidance and Support
Every couple receives a personalized pre-pregnancy preparation plan, including:
- Folate and vitamin supplementation scheduling
- Specialist referrals (cardiology, endocrinology, psychiatry, etc.) when needed
- Genetic counseling and carrier screening recommendations
If you wish to prepare for pregnancy not just physically but also emotionally and mentally, schedule your antenatal counseling appointment with us — let’s listen, plan, and take this meaningful first step together.
