Prenatal Appointment Schedule

A routine OB visit includes weight, urine dipstick, listening to the baby’s heartbeat and measuring fundal height, which tells the doctor that your baby is growing. As you see above, many important tests are performed at specific weeks of pregnancy. Attending all of your OB appointments (even routine) is your part of ensuring a safe pregnancy. Keep in mind that problems or high risk factors may warrant additional visits.

Our clinical staff will contact you with any laboratory results that are abnormal and need attention. Normal results will be discussed at your next visit. If you have any concerns or questions at times other than your routine visits, you may talk with one of our triage assistants.

The Team Approach

As much as possible, we will try to have your visits scheduled with your physician. Due to emergencies, deliveries or vacations however, you may need to see one of the other physicians in our practice. Each of our physicians would like to deliver every single one of her patients, and do deliver the majority of their own patients. However doctors cannot remain on call continuously. Their families would like to see them also. So that you feel comfortable and confident in the physician providing your care, we have carefully built our group with quality physicians who have the highest level of trust for each other. Also, the physicians provide “Meet the Docs” every six weeks which gives patients the opportunity to meet all the physicians (in addition a pediatrician, an anesthesiologist, and a labor /delivery nurse are present) and answer questions. Meet the Docs dates are posted in the office and on our website.
