What is preconception health?

The chapter before pregnancy starts

Most people think pregnancy education starts with a positive test. But the months before conception matter just as much — for nutrition, fertility, and long-term health outcomes for parents and children alike.

Green Acorn covers the full picture: sperm health, egg health, nutrient timing, body changes, and postpartum reality — so you walk in prepared, not surprised.
