PRECONCEPTION & PRENATAL COUNSELING
More and more we are learning that optimizing your health once becoming pregnant is not sufficient. The blueprint is laid for our children and grandchildren's health before conception even occurs. Dr. Winter works with patients to optimize their health prior to pregnancy reducing the risk of pregnancy and labor complications and giving your child a health head start.
Additionally, many women wish to give birth in a hospital under the supervision of midwives or obstetricians but leave their prenatal appointments feeling frustrated with how little time they spend with their provider and how many questions go unanswered. Some couples feel they are "pushed" into certain prenatal tests without understanding the risks and benefits of these tests along with other options available. Other women feel that natural or non-invasive treatments for common prenatal concerns are not offered and that health optimization during pregnancy is not emphasized. While many women begin to really focus on their health once discovering they are pregnant, in reality, the foundation of your baby's health is laid long before he or she is even conceived. Because both the egg and sperm take roughly three months to mature, optimizing your health for at least three months prior to conceiving a baby can have a lasting impact.
