The stage prior to becoming pregnant is called ‘preconception’.
The health, nutrition and lifestyle of you and your family before conception is important not only for pregnancy outcomes but also for the lifelong health of your children and even the next generation. In addition, childbearing individuals with more complex health needs should consider appropriate planning to ensure optimum health prior to pregnancy if possible.
