At the time of conception, a healthy woman can increase the chances of a successful pregnancy and have a healthy child. But the health of women around the time of conception is an important topic that has been neglected. Now national and international health agencies are paying more attention to this topic. Life-course epidemiology provides a valuable perspective to study the influential factors around conception and potential long-term and latent impacts on the mother’s, fetus’, and child’s health (1). For example, two to three months before and after conception is crucial because of their importance in gamete function and placental development. Therefore, sharper attention to the preconception period can improve mother and child health (2).
