Preconception Planning

Pre-Pregnancy Checkup

If you’re thinking about expanding your family through pregnancy, now is a great time to begin your relationship with the experts at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC).

Even in the very early stages of pregnancy, a great deal of embryonic development has already occurred. The baby’s organs are beginning to form by the time you find out you’re pregnant. This is why it’s beneficial to see our specialists for a checkup before you start trying to conceive.

Candidates for Preconception Planning

If you have any medical concerns or conditions, a pre-pregnancy checkup may be a good idea. We can help you assess and minimize risks associated with pregnancy. We can address and plan for any existing medical conditions that could affect and/or be affected by pregnancy.

We encourage you to schedule an appointment to meet with your obstetric care provider if you have any questions about conceiving or having a healthy pregnancy.

Conception Challenges

If you are trying to conceive and it’s taking longer than you expected, please speak with your doctor. Our team can discuss your concerns and options. If you need more help, we can refer you to a highly skilled reproductive endocrinologist.
