Three months is a memorable frame, not a medical deadline. You may begin later, change the order, or become pregnant unexpectedly. NIMO uses 90 days to gather useful, manageable steps in Viet Nam: one consultation, a medicine list, daily habits, and a workable care plan.
Key takeaways
- 01
Confirmed care facility and booking method
- 02
One-page health history for both partners
- 03
Medicine and supplement labels plus vaccine records
1. Days 90–61: gather information before buying
Choose a facility offering preconception care and ask about booking, costs, documents, social health insurance, or private cover. Make one page listing conditions, previous pregnancies, allergies, surgery, medicines, supplements, and vaccine records. Ask a professional about folic acid, nutrition, and priorities for your circumstances; do not buy a long testing package merely because an advert calls it essential.
2. Days 60–31: adjust a rhythm you can sustain
Link advised supplements to a regular meal, keep water visible, and choose a few familiar meals with vegetables, protein, and staple foods instead of chasing a perfect menu. Review smoking, alcohol, sleep, night shifts, chemicals, and workplace heat with your partner. Seek specific guidance for medicine or workplace changes; do not stop treatment that keeps you well on your own.
3. Days 30–1: rehearse the plan
Save the number of the facility you would call after a positive test, the rush-hour route, and a heavy-rain alternative. Agree who keeps records, who may attend, and a small budget for the first visit. Each week ask only what became routine, what feels too heavy, and which question belongs with a clinician. The plan may become simpler as life changes.
