HELPING WOMEN FEEL THEIR BEST

It is important to be healthy before pregnancy to ensure babies are less likely to be born early or have low birthweights. With preconception care, babies are also likely to be born without birth defects or other disabling conditions.

There is so much information out there regarding pregnancy.  Everyone from moms to dads to grandmothers have their opinion and in many cases even useful info.  But if your worried or concerned check with your doctor for any additional information you may need.

All of the routine testing in pregnancy and testing for fetal well being will be conducted as well as screenings for birth defects, genetic disorders and cystic fibrosis to name a few.

Our providers help soon-to-be-moms have a better understanding about what to expect during this exciting time of pregnancy. Information on preterm labor and birth, how to tell when labor begins, induction, fetal monitoring during labor, and pain relief during labor and delivery will be covered. Our providers also explain cesarean sections, vaginal births, newborn circumcision and dealing with postpartum issues like depression. 

We promote and educate our new moms on the benefits of the skin-to-skin contact, also known as Kangaroo Care. This has been recommended for all healthy term newborns by both the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists because of its positive effects on infants and their families.

It is associated with reduced crying and heart rate surges in the newborn. It promotes stabilization of the newborn's temperature and promotes successful breastfeeding. Studies in low birth weight infants show a reduction in infections and newborn death and have also shown an increase in weight, height and head growth.

Our physicians are well trained on high risk pregnancies. If you have any existing health conditions, you will be treated with extra precautionary measures and care.
