Our Mission

Our mission is to educate and inform women and their families on ways to be healthy during preconception care.

Preconception For Women and Partners

Welcome to our blog!

We are a group of students at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse. We are studying Community Health Education and are in a Program Development in Community Health Education class. As a group we are to provide a program for individuals of a specific population. Since we are a group of all females we decided to provide a program for people, specifically women, about how to care and prepare yourself and your partner for pregnancy. We wanted to touch on all topics from family planning to knowing what to do if you unexpectedly become pregnant. We will be soon providing more information based on your needs. Feel free to post questions or comments that we can provide for you some more information. We will also be having guest authors in the areas of nutrition, exercise, medical professionals (OBGYNs), and hopefully many more to answer or add on to your comments!
