What is involved in prenatal care?
Prenatal care is the medical support provided to women and their growing babies during pregnancy. It is essential to the health of both mother and child.
Your Mira Women’s Health & Midwifery provider is available to enhance your pregnancy experience. They offer recommendations for a healthy lifestyle and essential screenings to evaluate your baby’s development.
Education is an important part of prenatal care. Your midwife works closely with you to ensure you have all the information necessary to thrive during pregnancy and promote optimal fetal health.
You can trust the professionals at Mira Women’s Health & Midwifery. They are available at any time should you have questions or are experiencing complications. The midwives make themselves available through phone calls and video chats, or you can request routine prenatal care in the comfort of your home.
What happens during prenatal care visits?
At every prenatal visit, your Mira Women’s Health & Midwifery provider gathers basic information about your weight, blood pressure, and heart rate. You also learn how your baby is developing during prenatal care, as well as your estimated due date. At some appointments, they screen your urine and blood, too.
The practice offers genetic screenings to reveal signs of genetic abnormalities or congenital disabilities. Your midwife also measures the general growth and health of your baby through physical measurements of your growing stomach and sophisticated ultrasound technology. Expect to visit with your midwife for prenatal visits about once per month during your first trimester, twice a week during the second trimester, and once per week in the weeks prior to delivery.
Mira Women’s Health & Midwifery can also provide you with homeopathic and natural remedies throughout your pregnancy to treat common pregnancy-related issues, like nausea, pain, abnormal bleeding, and early contractions.
Is prenatal care important for every pregnancy?
Even if you have had children before, prenatal care is important. Your age, health status, and baby’s status vary each time, so it is important to get appropriate prenatal care each time you become pregnant.
Science and medical technology are always evolving; prenatal care allows you to take advantage of new obstetric screening tools and approaches that may not have been available during previous pregnancies.
Plus, it is helpful to establish a relationship with your midwife who remains dedicated to supporting you through your pregnancy, during your delivery, and in the initial days of postpartum and newborn care. They know your history and help you make the best healthcare decisions for you and your baby.
If you are ready to add to your family or are already pregnant, call the Mira Women’s Health & Midwifery office or schedule a prenatal visit using the online booking feature today.
