Why planning a pregnancy is important
The time before you become pregnant is a great opportunity to do things that you may not be able to do during pregnancy.
Once you become pregnant it may be more high risk or difficult to get to a healthy weight, undergo some dental procedures or address underlying health issues.
It’s also a great time to discuss some of your plans and expectations with those close to you in a relaxed no pressure setting. Before all of the planning and expectations of pregnancy come up.
This simple, no fuss Pregnancy Planning Guide, will prompt you to take action on some of the obvious things. It will also help you address some things that may not be on your radar.
Meet Kieren
Planning a pregnancy is an exciting but often daunting time. I’m passionate about providing an exceptional level of tailored advice and care to women to meet their needs before, during and after pregnancy.
Originally from Sydney, I completed my medical studies before embarking on my general medical training at the Royal Prince Alfred hospital in Camperdown. This was followed by specialty training at The Royal Hospital for Women in Sydney.
I am now dedicated to offering the best possible level of care to women in my private obstetrics and gynaecology practice. Based on Sydney’s North Shore I have consulting rooms at both The Mater Hospital and on Bridge Street in the city.
I hope you find this guide useful. If you have any questions about your planned pregnancy, please don’t hesitate to contact my rooms.
