Your first prenatal visit will last about 1
hour. During this visit you will meet with the CNM to discuss
your health and pregnancy history and to ask any questions that
you may have regarding your prenatal care or pregnancy
concerns. Future visits generally last about 30 minutes long,
and will provide you plenty of time to get to know the midwives
and to ask any questions that you may have, as well as
benefiting from the teaching the midwives offer.
Throughout pregnancy, we educate and
encourage you on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Topics
include:
• diet and exercise
• fetal growth and development
• avoidance of toxic substances
• normal fetal movement
• preparation for childbirth.
In the course of your prenatal care, we
continually monitor your condition for any complications that
may arise. If needed, our consulting physicians may co-manage
your prenatal care or you may be transferred to a
Physician’s care should your pregnancy become high risk.
