Homepage: Foresight, the Association for the Promotion of Preconceptual Care
First established in 1978, Foresight is a charitable organisation whose primary role is to promote the importance of good health and nutritional status in both parents before conceiving a baby, and to provide sensible, acheivable information and advice on how to do this.
Foresight has put together a thoroughly researched pre-conception programme, which identifies and addresses various areas of concern in the health in any pair of prospective parents. The objective is to optimise the health of both prospective parents well before conception occurs so that a pregnancy can be started with a normal, strong sperm and ova and the embryo can implant and develop under optimum conditions in a healthy uterus, with no danger of damage from nutritional deficiency, toxins or disease. Over the years, Foresight has found that under these conditions it is possible to have uncomplicated pregnancies resulting in strong, healthy and perfectly formed babies, even in many couples who may have previously experienced the distress of miscarriage, stillbirth, birth defects, unexplained infertility, post-natal depression, health problems in the child, and other problems relating to conception, pregnancy and birth.
It is a sad fact that the modern, busy lives that many people lead today, with our polluted air and our over-stored, over-processed and over-packaged foods, are not conducive to healthy living. Unfortunately, our fertility and our ability to reproduce is one of the first things to be affected (albeit mildly in many cases) although symptoms of 'sub-fertility' often do not not become apparent until problems with conception or pregnancy result.
Many couples experiencing reproductive problems of one form or another would otherwise consider themselves to be perfectly healthy.
Our web site contains a great wealth of information, drawn from many different sources, and put together for the benefit of the public, so please take time to look around it. Whatever your reason for seeking us out, we hope you find the answers you are looking for.
Foresight welcomes enquiries and all support and interest. All prospective parents approaching Foresight are given genuine and specific advice. For more information about contacting or joining Foresight, please click here.
