By Dr. Ushasi Mukherjee, Gynecologist & Women’s Health Specialist
Planning a pregnancy is an exciting phase in a couple’s life, but it is also a time when the right medical guidance can make a meaningful difference. Preconceptional counseling is a proactive approach to preparing a woman’s body—and overall health—for a safe pregnancy and a healthy baby. Rather than waiting until conception occurs, this form of care focuses on identifying and addressing potential health risks before pregnancy begins.
Dr. Ushasi Mukherjee strongly believes that a healthy pregnancy starts much earlier than a positive pregnancy test. Through structured preconceptional counseling, she helps women and couples enter pregnancy with confidence, clarity, and optimal health.
