Nutritional Guidance
Dr. Ayesha provides personalized nutritional guidance, emphasizing the importance of a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients. Adequate nutrition before conception is crucial for the healthy development of the fetus and can help prevent complications during pregnancy.
Lifestyle Modifications
Pre-conceptional care involves identifying and addressing lifestyle factors that could affect fertility and pregnancy outcomes. This may include recommendations for smoking cessation, moderation of alcohol consumption, and guidance on maintaining a healthy weight.
Immunization Review
Immunizations are reviewed to ensure that both partners are up-to-date on vaccines. This is essential to protect the health of the mother and baby during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
Genetic Counseling
Couples may undergo genetic counseling to assess the risk of hereditary conditions. Dr. Ayesha guides them through the process, providing information on potential genetic concerns and available testing options.
Chronic Disease Management
