A Natural Approach to Preconception Care

Preconception Care is about taking care of your health in preparation for conceiving a baby and having a healthy pregnancy. It is a commonsense approach to ensuring both of you have done everything you can to have to have a health baby.

Good health and health care before you become pregnant will help support a healthy reproductive system and a normal conception.

Preconception Care is advisable for both partners for at least 6 months before trying for a baby. This is a programme designed to assist conception leading to successful pregnancy:

• The female comes off the oral contraceptive pill and uses a barrier method of contraception for the duration of the preconception care
• Comprehensive tests and physical examination (carried out by a doctor)
• Detoxification including heavy metals, which can cause birth defects
• Reduce exposure to hormone disruptors
• Diet and lifestyle
• Nutritional supplementation covering all vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, essential fatty acids and probiotics needed for reproductive health
• Rebalance hormones as indicated in blood test results
• Lower stress levels
• Weight loss, where necessary
• Treat issues like endometriosis, PCOS, fibroids, impotence, low libido
