Preconception health is a woman’s health before she becomes pregnant. It means knowing how health conditions and risk factors could affect a woman or her unborn baby if she becomes pregnant. For example, some foods, habits, and medicines can harm your baby — even before he or she is conceived. Some health problems, such as diabetes, anaemia, thyroid, hypertension, etc., can affect pregnancy. So, a preconception diet plan is designed for couples who are targeting conception or implantation. Both members of the couple will participate in this plan. A meal plan is given to ensure both the couple are getting proper nutrition that will support pregnancy. Furthermore, the main aim of this plan is to increase the quality of sperm and eggs for a healthy pregnancy. A healthy pregnancy leads to the birth of a healthy new baby. Unplanned pregnancies are at a greater risk of preterm birth and low birth weight babies. Another reason is that, despite important advances in medicine and prenatal care, about 1 in 8 babies is born too early. As a dietitian, it is important to understand the status of macro and micro nutrients in an individual, as every body type is different and so are their needs. Dietitian Ritika keeps all the factors, including your daily routine and eating habits, in consideration while making a diet plan that suits you the best. The diet plans are customized for every couple, ensuring you make your body ready for the new journey of parenthood.
