Preconception Appointment

Preconception appointments are crucial for individuals or couples planning to conceive. They offer a comprehensive review and preparation for a healthy pregnancy. Our Obstetrician and Maternal Medicine Specialist, Mr Adam Jakes, at Westminster Women’s Clinic is an expert in caring for women with pre-existing medical conditions or a history of pregnancy-related conditions.

This specialist service is particularly suited to women with existing medical conditions, or those who experienced medical complications in a previous pregnancy, such as Gestational Diabetes, pre-eclampsia or Obstetric Cholestasis of Pregnancy.

The primary goal of a Preconception Appointment is to ensure that you are in the best possible health before becoming pregnant. This involves a detailed exploration of several key areas including your medical history, previous pregnancy history, and assessment of lifestyle and fertility. The appointment will provide tailored advice and care based on the latest research and clinical practices.

Comprehensive Preconception Care and Assessment

For women with a history of pregnancy-related complications, preconception care plays a vital role in reducing risks in future pregnancies. This includes specialist review of conditions that may have affected a previous pregnancy, as well as pre-existing medical conditions that could influence conception, pregnancy outcomes or childbirth. Early planning allows tailored management strategies to be put in place before pregnancy begins.

As part of your checkup, your general health and any health conditions are carefully reviewed to understand how they may affect conception, pregnancy outcomes, and childbirth. This includes discussion around current or previous birth control or contraception, alongside planning for pregnancy and maternity care.

Lifestyle factors are also addressed, with guidance on maintaining a balanced diet to support fertility and reduce potential risks during pregnancy. This information helps optimise your health and supports the wellbeing of your unborn baby from the earliest stages.
