Start Your Pregnancy Journey With Confidence
Planning for pregnancy is an important step in supporting both maternal and baby health. Dr Samantha Rachel Yeo Mei-E provides personalised preconception care in Singapore to help women optimise their health before conception.
A pre-pregnancy consultation allows for early assessment, medical guidance, and informed planning before trying to conceive.
What Is Preconception Care?
Preconception care focuses on identifying and optimising health factors that may affect fertility, pregnancy, and delivery outcomes. This includes reviewing medical history, lifestyle factors, menstrual patterns, and any existing medical conditions.
Early preparation can support:
- Reproductive health optimisation
- Identification of potential risk factors
- Management of chronic medical conditions
- Nutritional and supplement guidance
- Vaccination review
- Genetic counselling where appropriate
It is therefore important for couples who are trying to conceive, and especially women who are above the age of 35 years old, to consider optimizing their preconception health wherever possible.
Who Should Consider A Pre-Pregnancy Consultation?
You may consider seeing an obstetrician for preconception care if you:
- Are planning to conceive within the next year
- Have irregular menstrual cycles
- Have a history of miscarriage
- Have chronic medical conditions (e.g. thyroid disorders, diabetes, hypertension)
- Are above 35 years old
- Have had previous pregnancy complications
- Want guidance on fertility optimisation
Early medical consultation provides clarity and personalised planning.
What To Expect During Your Preconception Visit
During your consultation, Dr Samantha Yeo will:
- Review your medical and obstetric history
- Assess menstrual and ovulation patterns
- Discuss family medical history
- Recommend appropriate pregnancy screening tests
- Advise on lifestyle, nutrition, and supplements
- Provide guidance on timing and fertility awareness
Where necessary, investigations may be arranged to assess reproductive health and identify modifiable risk factors.
Fertility Planning & Individualised Guidance
Every woman’s health profile is unique. Preconception counselling helps create an individualised plan tailored to your age, medical history, and reproductive goals.
This structured approach supports:
- Informed decision-making
- Early detection of potential concerns
- Optimisation of maternal health prior to pregnancy
Dr Samantha Yeo provides evidence-based guidance with clear communication, allowing couples to move forward with greater confidence.
Why Pre-Pregnancy Scan Matters
Health optimisation before pregnancy may help reduce certain preventable complications and allows for proactive management of known medical conditions.
Preconception care is not only for women experiencing fertility difficulties — it is also recommended for healthy individuals planning ahead for pregnancy.
