This week, we talk about preconception care. and what women can do to improve their health before pregnancy in order to improve their chances of having a healthy pregnancy as this is my recent area of expertise! We could do a general overview of pregnancy planning or a more focused discussion on what questions to ask your healthcare provider, when to start planning, which tests to get done, etc.
