When a couple decides that they are going to have a child, their life project changes radically. In addition to the happiness that this determination generates not only in the parents but also in the future grandparents, uncles and close relatives, this decision also carries with it the great responsibility of achieving a safe and healthy pregnancy to avoid risks of possible complications in both the mother and her baby.

Previously, it was believed that only couples with fertility difficulties should see a specialist when planning a pregnancy. Now it is known that many more people make the decision to consult a gynecologist before embarking on this beautiful life project, because in this way they are 100% sure that they are in good health conditions to face a peaceful pregnancy without major complications.

Other advantages of consulting a fertility expert before achieving pregnancy are:

  • The treating doctor will analyze the specific case of each couple and review their medical history to evaluate their family history and detect any abnormalities that may be interfering with their fertility or that may hinder the development of a pregnancy in the short term.
  • He will also ask the intended parents about their lifestyle habits and recommend some changes in order to improve their reproductive health (such as quitting smoking and drinking alcohol, exercising, modifying their diet, etc.).
  • The gynecologist will do a complete physical examination that will evaluate the mother’s medical conditions (such as her height, weight, etc.) and thus know if the mother is at a healthy weight before starting her pregnancy.
  • In the preconceptional consultation at Inser, the woman will be evaluated by means of a transvaginal ultrasound to check the proper functioning of her reproductive system and rule out possible complications that interfere with achieving pregnancy in the coming months.
  • For couples who come to a fertility consultation, the doctor may order other complementary tests (such as blood tests, specialized ultrasounds, spermogram, among others) to know in detail the current functioning of their body with a view to future motherhood and paternity and to carry out the appropriate treatments for each couple.
  • In a consultation, the couple can clarify with their doctor all the doubts they have about fertility, pregnancy and other topics and thus demolish all the myths and fears they may have on this subject.
