Obstetrics Services
Obstetricians are physicians who specialize in providing medical care for women and their babies during their pregnancy.
If you are an expectant mother, then our practice's obstetricians will assist you during each phase of your pregnancy, through each of your trimesters, and through delivery of your baby (or babies!).
Our physicians will go over our obstetrics and prenatal program for making sure that mother and baby are healthy at each step of the way. We are here to answer any questions you may have.
A normal gestational period consists of 40 weeks past the first day of your last menstral cycle. Generally, we will see you every 4 weeks until you are 30 weeks gestation. Between 30 and 36 weeks, we will see you every 2 weeks. Then, starting at 36 weeks, we will see you every week until you deliver. If you are at high risk, or develop a problem during your pregnancy, more frequent appointments may be necessary.
Your health and your baby's health are our number one concern! Call us today to schedule a prenatal visit.
