Undergo a comprehensive medical examination, including a physical check-up, gynecological exam, and laboratory tests to ensure you are in good health and capable of carrying a pregnancy.
Participate in a psychological assessment conducted by a licensed mental health professional to evaluate your emotional readiness and stability.
