Preconception Health: Changing the Paradigm on Well-woman Health. An investment in assuring the health of women, before pregnancy, can reap improved health for women, children, and their families. A paradigm shift of health must occur if perinatal outcomes are to improve, moving beyond reactive care to preventive or preconception care. Preconception health is centered on an assumption a woman is planning on becoming pregnant. But for many women, pregnancy is unplanned and medical conditions may have a negative impact on the trajectory of pregnancy and health. A new paradigm focusing on prevention and wellness can prepare women for lifelong health and healthy perinatal outcomes.
