Preconception Counseling
Why Choose Preconception Counseling?
Because a Healthy Start Matters
Preconception care isn’t just for those with known fertility challenges—it’s for everyone dreaming of a family. Whether you’re planning your first pregnancy or expanding your family, this step empowers you with knowledge, reduces uncertainties, and builds confidence.
You Should Consider Preconception Counseling If:
- You’re planning to conceive within the next 6–12 months
- You or your partner have a chronic medical condition (e.g., diabetes, PCOS, thyroid issues)
- There’s a family history of genetic disorders or recurrent pregnancy loss
- You’re over 35 and want to understand age-related fertility factors
- You want to optimize your health and environment before pregnancy
- You seek clarity on vaccinations, supplements, and prenatal care in advance
Early Planning Leads to:
- Higher chances of natural conception
- Reduced risk of complications during pregnancy
- Healthier outcomes for both mother and baby
- Smoother emotional transition into parenthood
At Rathi Hospital, we see preconception counseling as an act of love and responsibility—a way to prepare your body, mind, and home for the beautiful journey ahead.

Urvisha Patel
I am in my 50s and was dealing with intense knee pain. Due to this, I struggled to climb the stairs and carry out normal day-to-day activities. At that time, one of my friends suggested I visit the Rathi Hospital. After assessing the condition of my knees, doctors there told me to undergo total knee replacement service. As it was my first surgery, I was a bit nervous. But now, after complete healing from this condition, I can say that it was indeed the best decision of my life. I am thankful to the doctors and expert team at Rathi Hospital for helping me recover fully and return to everyday activities quickly.
Indira Naicker
I had a hip broken 5 years back and the Dr Gaurav replaced the hip which has got amazing results. Recently I had PCL injury in the same leg and he guided me very well to recover from my injury. People write in their reviews like they have to wait some more but I never faced like that anytime. Secondly if any emergency comes then definitely he has to attend that first and then focus on OPD and he genuinely give proper attention, guidance and treatment as per need.
Bhavik Kothari
Awesome doctor, very very knowledgeable, very caring and a super sweet doctor. I was facing many complexities during my pregnancy to an extent that we were not sure what could happen the next moment but it was dr. Purvi whose wit and knowledge made it possible. She is an angel who brought happiness in my life, i don’t have enough words to thank her for this.
Hetal Desai
I am extremely grateful to Dr. Gaurav Rathi for his prompt attention, expert surgery, and excellent care during my hospital stay. His dedication and compassion are truly commendable — even on a Sunday, he personally visited the hospital to check on his patients. This level of commitment is rare and deeply appreciated. The hospital itself is exceptionally clean and well-maintained. It has been recently renovated with thoughtful attention to every small detail, especially with patient safety and comfort in mind. I highly recommend Dr. Gaurav Rathi and this hospital to anyone in need of quality medical care. Thank you once again for the outstanding service!
