At Womens Health Group Chicago, we prioritize helping mothers-to-be understand the importance of first-trimester screenings and tests. This vital phase in pregnancy is when initial evaluations are conducted to identify potential age-related issues, chromosomal abnormalities or genetic syndromes that could affect both mother and baby. Our expert team guides you through these comprehensive medical assessments with utmost transparency and empathy, ensuring a safe journey throughout your term.
Unveil the mystery behind those delightful kicks! Regular check-ups and monitoring form an integral part of prenatal care offered by our clinic. We facilitate periodic examinations necessary to track your baby’s growth while effectively gauging your well-being too. From ultrasound scans to various other diagnostic tests, everything is tailored to safeguard your health journey towards an unparalleled moment – childbirth.
Embrace healthy eating habits during pregnancy under our nutritional counseling sessions designed based on individual health status. A balanced diet not only ensures wholesome nutrition for you but also contributes significantly towards the overall development of your unborn child. As pioneers in this field, we advocate personalized supplement plans encompassing essential vitamins & minerals along with guidance on portion sizes, food choices, etc., keeping you hale hearty – just as all expecting mothers should be!
Giving birth is a unique experience for every woman; thus preparing oneself physically as well as mentally becomes inevitable for such life-altering moments ahead. That’s why Womens Health Group Chicago extends birthing classes packed with useful information about labour induction techniques, relaxation methods during contractions alongside practical rehearsals about side-lying positions which aid easier births sans too much fatigue.
Easing fretful minds becomes substantially challenging when pregnancies arrive tagged as ‘high-risk.’ At Womens Health Group Chicago, we believe in establishing a continuous comfort zone centered around communication and personalized care plans for our patients having high-risk pregnancies. Special attention is warranted by us since managing complex situations like preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and multiple births with the best medical interventions are of paramount importance to us!
Transitioning into motherhood is like exploring an entirely new dimension replete with excitement and apprehensions alike! To smoothen this journey further, soon after delivery, WHG extends comprehensive postnatal support comprising regular newborn screenings, mental health consultations for combating those startling mood swings along instructions about lactation management or wound-care if a C-section has been performed. Remember – we’re here not just throughout your pregnancy but far beyond that too!

April Susmarski2024-08-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m a new patient and the care I received there from all of the staff really impressed me. I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Mike and I cannot recommend him enough! His review of my (and my family’s) medical history was so in depth that we actually covered more than I ever have with my regular doctor. He went above and beyond to say the least. His approach is preventative, instead of just waiting for an issue to arise. Needless to say, I know I’m in good hands there.

It is recommended that you start prenatal care as soon as you find out you are pregnant. This will give your doctor a chance to monitor your pregnancy from the beginning and identify any potential problems early on.
The number of prenatal care appointments you need will vary depending on your individual pregnancy. However, most women will see their doctor every four weeks during the first two trimesters of pregnancy and every two weeks during the third trimester.
At your prenatal care appointments, your doctor will perform a physical exam, check your weight and blood pressure, and listen to your baby’s heartbeat. They will also ask you about any symptoms you are experiencing and answer any questions you have about your pregnancy.
During prenatal care, you will need to have a number of tests to monitor your health and your baby’s health. These tests may include:
It is important to eat a healthy diet during pregnancy. You should eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. You should also avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive caffeine.
Most exercises are safe during pregnancy. However, it is important to talk to your doctor before starting any new exercise program. Some good exercises for pregnant women include walking, swimming, and yoga.
Some common pregnancy symptoms include:
You should go to the hospital when you have regular contractions that are 5-10 minutes apart and last for 30-60 seconds. You should also go to the hospital if you experience any of the following:
