Associates support you during delivery and follow your birth plan to create a birthing experience that meets your vision.
If you encounter problems during delivery, the experienced team is ready to intervene as needed to ensure a healthy outcome for mom and baby.
Regular prenatal visits at Atlanta Obstetrics & Gynecology Associates give your baby a healthy start. During these visits, the team monitors your health and the health of your baby, identifying issues before they become serious problems for you or your unborn child.
Every pregnancy is different, so it’s important to seek prenatal care, whether this is your first or fifth pregnancy.
You should schedule your first prenatal visit as soon as you think you are pregnant. The earlier you start prenatal care, the better. Plan on coming in at about eight weeks, or four weeks after a missed period.
As your pregnancy progresses, prenatal checkups happen more frequently and include various screenings.
A typical schedule for prenatal checkups is:
If your pregnancy is deemed high-risk, you may need more frequent visits so the team at Atlanta Obstetrics & Gynecology Associates can more closely monitor your pregnancy.
During your first prenatal visit, your dedicated doctor checks your vitals, estimates your due date, performs a physical exam (including a pelvic exam), checks the baby's heart rate, and runs specific screenings or blood tests appropriate early in your pregnancy.
Future prenatal visits involve measuring your abdomen, ultrasounds, and other screening tests. Routine prenatal tests include:
These tests occur at different stages of your pregnancy.
When it gets closer to delivery, your doctor discusses all of the options with you and helps you craft a birthing plan based on your health, the baby’s health, and any past deliveries or surgeries.
