Preconception Care
The healthiest pregnancy often begins before conception — a preconception consultation is an opportunity to optimise your health, plan for any known risks, and step into pregnancy with confidence.
Preconception care involves a comprehensive review of your health, lifestyle and medical history before you become pregnant. It is particularly valuable for women with existing medical conditions, previous pregnancy complications, advanced maternal age or fertility concerns — but is worth considering for anyone planning a pregnancy.
What a preconception consultation includes
A thorough and unhurried review covering every aspect of your health that is relevant to pregnancy planning.
Who benefits most from preconception care
Preconception consultation is particularly recommended for women with any of the following:
Anticipate, plan, and proceed with confidence
Preconception consultations with Dr Krones are unhurried and thoroughly individualised. The aim is to anticipate — not just react to — the issues that matter most for your pregnancy, and to provide the information you need to plan with confidence.
Where additional specialist input is helpful — for example from an endocrinologist, cardiologist or geneticist — referrals can be coordinated as part of your care plan before pregnancy begins.
Book a consultation
Dr Krones consults at Suite 3A, North Shore Private Hospital, St Leonards, with operating privileges at North Shore Private Hospital and The Mater Hospital, Crows Nest.
A valid GP or specialist referral is required for all new appointments.
