Understanding Prenatal Care

Regular prenatal visits are essential to monitor both your health and your baby’s development. Prenatal care includes checkups with doctors, nurses, or midwives throughout your pregnancy to track milestones, manage symptoms, and prepare for delivery. Services like ultrasounds and prenatal testing also help ensure a safe and informed pregnancy experience.

Support for Every Pregnancy

Low-Risk Pregnancy
Most pregnancies are considered low-risk — typically involving a single baby and no major health complications. In these cases, routine prenatal care and midwifery support help guide you through a smooth pregnancy and birth experience.

High-Risk Pregnancy
If you have a preexisting condition such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, or HIV, you may require specialized care. High-risk pregnancy management focuses on minimizing risks and supporting both maternal and fetal health with closer monitoring and tailored treatments.

Labor and Delivery Options

Breech Babies
A breech baby is positioned bottom-down rather than head-down. While not always dangerous, breech presentation may complicate delivery. Your OB-GYN may attempt to gently reposition the baby closer to your due date.

C-Section Delivery
When a vaginal birth poses risk to the mother or baby, a cesarean section (C-section) may be recommended. This surgical delivery is a safe and common alternative when complications arise.

Natural Childbirth
For those seeking a medication-free labor, natural birth is supported by midwives who offer emotional guidance, pain-management techniques, and birthing resources.

Holistic Pregnancy Support

Midwifery
Midwives provide comprehensive support throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. They focus on empowering women, offering care for natural births, and working alongside physicians when needed.

Prenatal Testing
These screenings may include genetic tests to detect chromosomal abnormalities or other concerns. Testing helps you make informed decisions throughout your pregnancy.

Postpartum Care
After birth, mothers benefit from ongoing physical and emotional support. Postpartum care helps monitor healing, mood changes, and overall wellness in the critical weeks following delivery.
