Preconception Consultation

A preconception consultation is a service offered to couples who are trying to get pregnant, but whose pregnancy would be regarded as a high-risk.

What is a preconception consultation?

preconception consultation is a service offered to couples who are trying to get pregnant, but whose pregnancy would be regarded as a high-risk. High-risk pregnancies are determined by the age of the mother, and the medical and family health history of both parents. When you schedule a consultation with Dr. Heather Stanley-Christian at Unity Maternal Fetal Medicine, you should come prepared to discuss your full health history. Dr. Stanley-Christian will review your health history with you and provide direction for your next steps.

Why should I schedule a preconception consult?

If you carry a genetic condition that would be known to affect the fetus, or if you have questions about passing along an inherited disease to your child, a preconception consultation will be beneficial. During your consultation, you can ask questions about how an inherited condition will impact your pregnancy, including testing the fetus.

If your pregnancy would be considered a high-risk or complicated, meeting with a doctor like Dr. Stanley-Christian (who is a board certified OB/GYN, Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist, and Geneticist) can be extremely beneficial. She can help you determine what you can expect during your pregnancy.
