Assess Medical Problems

Women with high-risk medical conditions should have a consult prior to conceiving. With all medical conditions, we ask the following:


  • How will pregnancy affect the medical problem?
  • How will the medical problem affect the pregnancy?
  • What changes in medications should possibly be made?


Optimizing treatment with medications that are safe or lower risk during pregnancy is important before you get pregnant.

More About Medical Problems

Understanding the risks and preventing dangerous medication exposure in the first trimester can improve the outcome of pregnancy. This may be as simple as weight loss for an obese patient, or medication optimization for a diabetic or hypertensive patient. Optimizing nutrition, selecting the right prenatal vitamin, and planning for early pregnancy can all be accomplished with an in person or online visit with Dr. Coussons. He can review your records, medical history, order additional testing, and make changes before you conceive. In some very complex cases, Dr. Coussons collaborates with a high-risk maternal fetal medicine specialist. Your medical plan can then be shared with your local obstetrician.
