The Essence of Prenatal Care
Beginning Right with Preconception Counseling
Even before you conceive, understanding your body, addressing any health issues, and optimizing wellness sets the stage for a healthier pregnancy.
Regular Monitoring
Scheduled check-ups allow us to track the development of the fetus, monitor maternal health, and address any concerns promptly.
Nutritional Guidance
Nutrition during pregnancy is pivotal. From understanding caloric needs to supplements like folic acid, our guidance ensures both maternal and fetal nutritional requisites are met.
Screenings & Tests – Safeguarding Health
Initial Blood Work
Provides insights into overall health, blood type, Rh factor, anemia risk, and potential infections.
Ultrasounds
Essential to visualize fetal development, estimate gestational age, and identify any anomalies.
Advanced Screenings
For high-risk pregnancies or those over 35, additional tests like amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling might be recommended
