Summary
Care and Counseling on Fetal Health Effects of Preconceptional Period Maternal Drug Use. Preconceptional care is a preventive health service that includes scanning, treatment and counseling services aiming to determine the physical, psychological and social factors that constitute a risk for the mother and fetus in the pre-pregnancy period and to improve the health. One of the primary goals of preconceptional care is the identification and maintenance of pre-pregnancy preventable risk factors to improve obstetric outcomes. The use of drugs containing teratogenic substances, which are among the risk factors that can be avoided, can cause adverse effects on the pregnant and embryo / fetus. It is aimed to investigate the effects of pre-pregnancy drug use on maternal and fetal health, care and counseling. Given the widespread use of medication and nutritional supplements among the women of reproductive age, the increased prevalence of chronic diseases, and the teratogenic effect of most medicines, it is necessary to provide a comprehensive framework for care and counseling services
