Initial Prenatal Care 

Just as soon as you think you are pregnant, call our office. You’ll want to know for sure. And you’ll want to start taking good care of yourself and your growing baby just as quickly as possible.

The First Office Visit

The first office appointment may take longer than your other visits. Your medical history will be taken by a trained obstetrical nurse or by us. We need to know how healthy you are, to best help you and your baby. Come early to the first exam, so you can fill out a medical history. 

At the first appointment we will do some lab tests relative to pregnancy and your general health. Blood tests are especially critical since they tell us much about your medical history which could have an effect on you or your baby’s well-being. Depending on special needs or individual medical problems, other testing may be done.
