Prenatal Care
We have 3 main goals that we strive to achieve throughout our prenatal care: to form a trusting and open relationship with you, to monitor the health and well-being of both you and your baby, and to provide you with information, education and resources.
Prenatal care can begin as soon as you discover you are pregnant, or whenever you are ready to seek a health care provider. Every appointment lasts about 1 hour. Prenatal care consists of monthly appointments until 32 weeks of pregnancy, bi-monthly appointments from 32-36 weeks, and weekly appointments from 36 weeks until the birth. We do a home visit around 36 weeks so that your birth team can get acquainted with the location where you plan to give birth.
The prenatal period is a time when we strive to get to know you and foster a relationship of mutual trust and respect. We spend time with our clients during every prenatal appointment. We listen to your hopes, dreams, concerns, fears, desires, or complaints. We provide insights, suggestions and information. We understand that forming trusting relationships can take time, and we aim to allow for that time in order to truly get to know you so that we may individualize your care appropriately and create a comfortable and relaxed environment in which to best grow and birth your baby. We encourage you to bring your family to appointments, and we always like to spend at least one appointment with just you.
At every prenatal appointment, we monitor the health and well-being of both you and your baby. We monitor your pulse and blood pressure as well as check your urine for protein, sugar, blood, white blood cells, and ketones. We offer every available test from blood tests and PAP smears to prenatal screens and ultrasounds. We always discuss eating habits and the importance of good nutrition. We check in with you about your emotions and feelings regarding the pregnancy, birth and parenting. We listen to your baby’s heart at every appointment, palpate your belly to assess your baby’s size and position, and monitor the growth of your baby.
Another main goal of prenatal appointments is providing you with education and informed choice. We always talk to you about your care, be it the results of your urine test, or a procedure we may want to consider. Before offering any test, screen, procedure or treatment we make sure that you understand all of your options. We always discuss why something is being offered, what its benefits and risks are, and what the alternatives are. We also give you this information in writing, and we encourage you to do your own research to facilitate your decision.
