What is Prenatal Care?

Prenatal care is a crucial part of a healthy pregnancy. It involves regular check-ups and medical tests to monitor both the mother’s and the baby’s health. These appointments allow healthcare providers to detect and manage potential health problems during pregnancy and to advise on a healthy lifestyle to ensure optimal fetal development.. (2)

What Prenatal Care Services Can a Primary Care Doctor Provide?

Primary care doctors can provide many of the same services as OB-GYNs, such as prescribing birth control, treating vaginal or urinary tract infections, and performing certain health screenings. They can also provide referrals for mammograms and coordinate care with other specialists depending on your health needs. For low-risk pregnancies, primary care doctors can provide prenatal and postpartum care. They can also connect you to specialists if needed. (3)

What Additional Prenatal Services Can an OB-GYN Provide?

OB-GYNs are trained in two specialties: obstetrics and gynecology. Obstetrics involves all aspects of pregnancy care, from preconception to immediately after childbirth. Gynecology involves care for all women’s health issues. OB-GYNs focus on pregnancy care, reproductive health, breast health, sexual health, and women’s preventive care. They also have advanced training to help women through health concerns such as heavy periods, infertility, and menopause. For high-risk or complex pregnancies, OB-GYNs can provide exceptional care.

What Can Clients Expect from Prenatal Care at Our Clinics?

Clients can expect comprehensive prenatal care at our clinics. Our team of primary care doctors and OB-GYNs work together to provide a range of services, from routine health screenings to specialized pregnancy care. We offer prenatal classes to educate about childbirth, breastfeeding, infant care, and more. Our OB-GYNs are specially trained to handle all types of pregnancies, including complex pregnancies and delivery challenges. For low-risk pregnancies, our primary care doctors can provide expert care throughout your pregnancy, the birthing process, and in the weeks after delivery. (2)(3)
