Have you heard of pre conception counseling with your OB? Does anyone know what it is all about, what reasons would one go to see one? I have been recommended to go, but a bit unsure as to weather my reasons warrant going IYKWIM?

Ally I have never heard of this! What is it all about? What reasons would constitute this?
I know when having IVF counseling is offered but Ive not heard of it from OB!
Sorry would also love to know more!
I think someone had some back when I was in pre-conception chatter: it's to let you know what pregnancy is going to do and to make sure you're ok, stuff like checking your rubella antibodies and the like. HTH!
Hmmm Not sure? I had the nurse at CYH recommend me to go, after the bad turns i was having after i had DS. She felt that they sounded like a medical problem? I have made an appointment for the end of next week, but didnt even ask the receptionist much about it LOL. Brain not thinking properly lately. I could most likely be pregnant by then too LOL!! I think i will phone tomorrow, and have a chat with the receptionist. I shall let you know!!
I went to my doctor beforehand for this. She gave me a pap, a physical exam, did a whole bunch of bloodwork. Then she gave me a bunch of information sheets on what I (and hubby) should/should not be doing (ie no drinking, taking pre-natal vitamins, etc etc).
Hi Elly,
My GP did exactly the same as what Twin Sister 'said'
