At Woodlands Medical Clinic, we offer comprehensive prenatal care to support the health and well-being of both the expecting parent and their baby. Our prenatal services include essential medical checkups, screenings, and personalized guidance for a healthy pregnancy journey.
Early prenatal care is crucial as it helps identify potential health issues sooner, allowing for timely intervention and preventing complications. Depending on individual needs, our healthcare providers—family physicians —will create a customized prenatal visit schedule. The frequency of visits may vary based on factors such as:
- First Visits: Confirming the pregnancy, sending you for obstetric ultrasound and blood tests.
- Frequency of Visits: Every 4 weeks until 20 weeks, then referral to specialist.
- Health Conditions: High-risk pregnancies, such as those with diabetes or high blood pressure, may require frequent monitoring or early referral.
- Stage of Pregnancy: Our family physicians will see you until 20 weeks and then refer to Obstetrician for high risk pregnancies or low risk family physicians if pregnancy is deemed low risk .
During these visits, your healthcare provider may:
- Conduct health assessments
- Order routine lab tests, including blood, urine, and blood pressure checks
- Screen for conditions like anemia, preeclampsia, and infections
- Offer guidance on topics such as nutrition, physical activity, and preparing for labor and delivery
