Before planning a pregnancy, it is important to prepare comprehensively for the upcoming phase.

A preconception check-up helps identify potential health risks and supports a healthy pregnancy.

​

Key Aspects of the Check-up

​

• Vaccination status should be checked and updated if necessary, particularly for vaccinations such as measles, rubella, and chickenpox.

• Ensure adequate folic acid and iron levels, as iron requirements increase up to seven times during pregnancy.

• Physical examination, including measurements of height, weight, pulse rate, and blood pressure.

• Examination of the lungs and heart, as well as the ears, nose, and throat area, and palpation of vessels, liver, kidneys, and spleen.

• Expanded laboratory tests, including the iron status, folic acid, thyroid values, and vaccination titers (e.g. rubella titer, measles, chickenpox). AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) can also be measured on request to assess ovarian reserve.
