Pre-Conceptional Counseling: Optimizing Mother and Baby's Health

The best pregnancy is a planned pregnancy. What to do before you conceive — prenatal vitamins, immunization, genetic testing, and the biology of conception.

I always say to my patients: "the best pregnancy is a planned pregnancy." This is true even for the married woman who wants to get pregnant. There is much a woman can do to prepare for pregnancy and, in that way, optimize her health and that of the baby's.

Sign up for this seminar to learn more about the importance of prenatal vitamins, immunization, and what type of genetic testing might be offered to you before you conceive. We also talk about the biology of conception to help you get pregnant faster!

Some of the topics I will address during this seminar

  • Why do I need prenatal vitamins?
  • Is there anything I can do to reduce the chance that my baby might get a birth defect?
  • Why do genetic testing even before I am pregnant?
  • Does my partner's health matter?

How the seminar works

Every virtual seminar is a 45-minute evidence-based presentation followed by a 15-minute Q&A session — enough time to cover the subject properly and still answer what you actually came to ask.

Seminars are available for individuals and corporate settings. If you are unable to attend live, a link to the recording will be provided.
