Your first appointment includes a comprehensive review of your medical history, a physical exam, and confirmation of pregnancy through ultrasound or blood tests. We’ll also discuss your health, address any concerns, and outline what to expect during your pregnancy.
Follow-up appointments occur every 4 weeks until the 28th week of pregnancy, every 2 weeks until the 36th week, and weekly thereafter. During these visits, we monitor your weight, blood pressure, and fetal growth, while answering any questions you might have.
Throughout your pregnancy, we perform key screening tests, including blood work for anemia, gestational diabetes screening, and genetic testing. We also conduct regular ultrasounds, such as the 20-week anatomy scan, to monitor the baby’s development and check organ health.
For each appointment, bring your medical history, a list of medications, and any questions you may have.

It’s recommended to begin prenatal care as soon as you know you’re pregnant. Ideally, your first appointment should be scheduled around the 8th week of pregnancy to ensure early monitoring and guidance.
Prenatal care helps detect and manage conditions like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, anemia, and thyroid disorders. Regular check-ups allow us to address these issues promptly, ensuring the best outcomes for both mother and baby.
Bring your medical history, a list of current medications, and any questions you have. It’s also helpful to write down any symptoms or concerns you want to discuss. If possible, bring a support person to help you remember important information shared during the visit.
Follow any instructions provided by your OB-GYN, such as dietary recommendations, taking prescribed vitamins, or scheduling follow-up tests. Stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet, and continue monitoring your symptoms between visits.
If a complication like gestational diabetes or preeclampsia is identified, we’ll develop a personalized care plan. This may include additional tests, dietary changes, medication, or more frequent monitoring to manage the condition effectively.
Regular prenatal visits allow us to monitor your baby’s growth, check your health, and address any issues that arise. By managing potential complications early and providing personalized care, we help increase the likelihood of a healthy delivery and recovery.
We provide comprehensive healthcare for women, by women.
