Description:Whether you are planning to get pregnant or just thinking about it, it’s never too early to start preparing for a pregnancy. Preconception care focuses on taking steps before getting pregnant to increase the chances of having a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. Women with sickle cell disease (SCD) are at greater risk for developing complications (health problems) during pregnancy than women without SCD. For some women with SCD, pregnancy can make their disease more severe, and treatments may need to be changed to help manage complications. This makes preconception care especially important. Learn what steps you can take now to stay healthy during a future pregnancy.
