Abstract

The goal of this article is to pay tribute to the Fetus who develops maternal bonding in intrauterine life. This bonding is healthier, secure and strengthened if preconception care is rendered to mother. Medical ethics demand that fetus is a patient, fetus has rights. Several of the medical conditions , personal behaviors, psychosocial risks and environmental exposures associated with negative outcomes can be identified and modified before conception through clinical interventions. For certain conditions , opportunities for preventive interventions occur only before conception. Preconceptional Care for chronic medical conditions is discussed. 

Keywords: Preconceptional care; Fetus medical conditions; Interventions.
