Your Prenatal visit process


Our obstetrical nurse will then meet with you to gather important medical information, including your medical, obstetrical, and family history. She will be available to answer your questions and concerns.

Afterward, she will perform your vitals. This includes measuring your blood pressure and weight as well as your belly after 28 weeks and assessing your baby’s position and listening to your baby’s heart rate, which is usually first heard after 12 weeks with a manual doppler.
The obstetrical nurse will also be conducting vaginal examinations when deemed appropriate after 38 weeks. The nurse may check your cervix to assess its dilation and offer methods to help facilitate the start of labor.

If your first visit is done before the 13th week of pregnancy, the nurse will discuss the prenatal screening process for genetic problems. This test is also known as an integrated prenatal screening. She will also discuss investigations and follow-ups that will be conducted during your pregnancy, such as:

A Dating Ultrasound if Dates Are Unsure
A Morphology Ultrasound During the 18-to-20-Week Mark of Your Pregnancy to Assess the Anatomy of Your Baby

A Growth Ultrasound between 30-32 weeks. As well as a 36 weeks ultrasound for the presentation.
At your first visit, we will conduct blood work to find out your blood type, hemoglobin level (iron), rubella status, hepatitis B status, syphilis status, and HIV status. At 24 weeks, we will provide glucose testing services to screen for diabetes.

Finally, 35 to 37 weeks into your pregnancy, we will conduct a Guillain-Barré Syndrome testing via recto-vaginal culture to assess the presence of bacteria.

The obstetrician will then meet with you to review the pertinent information and answer any further questions you might have.
