I agree with the statement because preconceptional risks play a crucial role in determining both maternal and fetal outcomes. Addressing these risks—such as uncontrolled diabetes, hypertension, obesity, malnutrition, infections, or substance abuse—before conception allows for timely interventions that improve the chances of a healthy pregnancy. For example, managing blood glucose in diabetic women before pregnancy reduces the risk of congenital malformations. Folic acid supplementation before conception helps prevent neural tube defects. Additionally, lifestyle changes like smoking cessation or achieving a healthy weight can reduce complications such as preterm birth. Early identification and management empower women to enter pregnancy in the best possible health, ensuring safer outcomes for both mother and baby
