What is Pregnancy Planning? Pregnancy planning, also known as preconception care, focuses on preparing a woman’s body for pregnancy. It includes medical evaluation, lifestyle guidance, nutrition support, and risk assessment before conception. This helps reduce pregnancy complications and improves the chances of a healthy baby. Why Preconception Care is Important Many health conditions like anemia, thyroid problems, diabetes, PCOS, or hormonal imbalance can affect pregnancy if not treated early. Preconception care helps identify and manage these issues in advance. It also reduces the risk of miscarriage, birth defects, and pregnancy-related complications.
