meet your obstetric team
One of the benefits of being a community-focused healthcare facility is that we can be present for you in every sense of the word. We call it our "home-town approach" and, when it comes to your pregnancy, it means you'll be able to have your regular provider throughout all of your prenatal appointments—and, 95% percent of the time, during your delivery as well!
We can't wait to meet you! We're excited to hear (and implement!) your birth plan, and are fully committed to creating a nurturing and reassuring environment for you throughout your pregnancy and birth experience.
PRENATAL CARE
Providing the best care for your baby begins in the womb!
First Trimester—Weeks 1-13
Appointments: Dating ultrasound followup between 7-9 weeks, and initial OB visit between weeks 11-13
Nature of Care: Follow up to review your due date based on your menstrual cycle and/or ultrasound results, and meet your pregnancy care provider. The initial visit includes a complete physical & standard checkup to monitor your baby, as well as a full panel of routine lab work. Your OB will want to talk to you about baby development, hear all your concerns, and answer all your questions.
Pregnancy Milestones: Seeing your baby for the first time! (We’ll send you home with photos from your ultrasound!)
Second Trimester—Weeks 14-27
Appointments: Monthly
Nature of Care: These appointments are similar in nature to those during your first trimester. In addition, your provider will also check for such things as your baby’s size, position and heartbeat.
Pregnancy Milestones: Anatomy ultrasound around 20 weeks, screening for gestational diabetes with our all-natural, organic and vegan “Fresh Test” around 24-26 weeks.
Third Trimester—Weeks 28-Birth Day
Appointments: Bi-monthly, then weekly
Nature of Care: Closely monitoring the growth of your baby
Pregnancy Milestones: Childbirth classes, lactation education, and creation of your birth plan.
