Frequently Asked Questions

During your pregnancy, several key milestones should be monitored:

  • First Trimester: Initial confirmation of pregnancy, first prenatal visit, and early ultrasound scans to confirm fetal heartbeat and estimate due dates.
  • Second Trimester: Anatomy scan around 20 weeks to assess fetal structures and detect any abnormalities, and glucose screening to test for gestational diabetes.
  • Third Trimester: Growth scans to monitor fetal growth, testing for Group B Streptococcus, and discussions about birth plans and preparations for delivery.
  • Final Weeks: Weekly visits to check fetal position, the mother’s health, and signs of labor readiness.

Between visits, be alert for certain symptoms that might indicate potential issues:

  • Bleeding or Unusual Discharge: Any amount of bleeding or a significant change in vaginal discharge can be a sign of concern.
  • Persistent Pain or Cramping: While some discomfort is normal, persistent or severe pain may be a warning sign.
  • Decreased Fetal Movement: After about 28 weeks, a decrease in the amount or intensity of fetal movements could indicate a problem.
  • High Fever: A high fever can be a risk to both the mother and the baby and should be addressed immediately.
  • Symptoms of Preeclampsia: These include severe headaches, vision changes, upper abdominal pain, and sudden swelling of the face and hands.

Existing health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or thyroid disorders will be closely monitored throughout your pregnancy. We will coordinate care with your primary health provider or a specialist to adjust medications as necessary and schedule more frequent monitoring if needed. Our goal is to maintain your health and minimize any impact on your pregnancy.

We offer various pain management options to suit different preferences and needs:

  • Medicated Options: These include epidurals, which are commonly used to reduce pain during labor, and other medications provided via IV or injection.
  • Non-Medicated Methods: Such as breathing techniques, hydrotherapy, and labor balls, and the support of a doula or labor coach.
  • Alternative Therapies: Acupuncture and massage can also be arranged upon request.

Throughout your pregnancy, you will undergo various tests and screenings to ensure the health of both you and your baby:

  • First Trimester: Blood tests for blood type, Rh factor, and overall health; urine tests to check for infections and overall health.
  • Second Trimester: Ultrasound scans for anatomical review, blood tests for genetic screening, and glucose tolerance tests.
  • Third Trimester: Additional screenings for diabetes if at risk, antibody screenings, and non-stress tests to monitor the baby’s heart rate.
  • Throughout Pregnancy: Routine check-ups will include weight checks, blood pressure monitoring, and assessments of the baby’s growth and heart rate.
