Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we know that early pregnancy is a time filled with anticipation and some anxiety. Key to alleviating concerns are our first trimester screenings and tests — designed to assess the health of your baby and identify any possible complications early in your pregnancy. Our clinician experts use state-of-the-art technology for accurate test results, helping you make informed decisions about your prenatal care journey.
Routine check-ups during pregnany allow us to monitor the progress of both mother-to-be and baby, ensuring optimal well-being at all stages of gestation period. At our center in Markham, part of regular prenatal care involves detailed examinations including ultrasound scans, weight monitoring, blood pressure checks among others. These visits also act as an opportunity for expecting mothers to discuss their symptoms & questions with sensitive practitioners trained specially in women’s healthcare.
A balanced diet plays a vital role in nurturing healthy development through each trimester. We offer nutritional counseling tailored specifically for pregnant women where they receive guidance on maintaining nutrient-rich diets enriched by necessary supplements such as folic acid or iron tablets if required. Designed by professional nutritionists this program will help sustain energy levels throughout pregnancies while promoting an overall healthier lifestyle.
Our clinic provides comprehensive birthing classes guiding expectant moms about processes involved during delivery ranging from breathing techniques down to postnatal recuperating procedures plus more aspects uniquely targeted towards individual preferences/needs like water-birth or c-section protocols etc. Via interactive sessions aspiring mothers can gain understanding about what lies ahead thus reducing anxieties linked with childbirth experience.
The care rendered by our clinic doesn’t end with childbirth’s conclusion. Importance is placed on postnatal sessions too as systematic medical inspections after delivery is paramount in spotting potential complications early thus treating them promptly if any arise. We provide conducive environments for newly borns & moms to recoup meanwhile acquiring guidance about newborn-care like breastfeeding, diapering etc which are practical issues new parents often face unprepared.

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.
