Our pre-conception consultation is aimed at people/couples who want to become pregnant in the near future. 

We believe that planning and preparing for pregnancy will lead to smoother experiences and enable truly informed choices. At the same time, it can optimise health and prevent complications, not only for the person who will become pregnant, but also for the couple, within their family and social context. Our consultation takes a holistic approach, based on our bio-psycho-social view of pregnancy and childbirth. It will therefore address, on an individual basis, practical aspects such as important pre-conception tests and examinations, but also many other aspects such as lifestyle, emotions and family context, wishes and expectations for this particular project. 

Love's nurses, Érica Ruivo and Margarida Serafim, who have worked for many years in different contexts (hospitals, clinics, both public and private), will explain, clear up any doubts and give recommendations on how to monitor pregnancy and make referrals to other complementary areas according to the needs and interests of the pregnant person/couple. There will also be time to talk about the different possibilities for monitoring the pregnancy and options for the place of birth.
