Me and hubby are planning to start trying soon. I wanted to know what tests or checkups one should do before conceiving? Want to be thoda prepared this time rather than rushing later.
Please get your thyroid and hemoglobin checked before conceiving. My thyroid went out of range during pregnancy and it was stressful. Regular doctor visits beforehand help a lot.
Honestly, get a complete pre-pregnancy blood panel done so you don't overthink later. I was so worried about blood compatibility and sugar, but getting tests early saved my peace of mind.
My doctor said checking blood sugar, thyroid, Rubella immunity, and CBC is crucial before conceiving. They also recommend starting folic acid 3 months in advance for a healthy baby.
Before trying, definitely get your basic fitness and blood counts checked. I had a tough C-section recovery and realized how important baseline health is. Take care of your body now.
Just book a simple appointment with a good gynac, sweetie. They will do basic blood tests and put u on folic acid. It's very routine and keeps things safe.
