Q: What happens during the prenatal evaluation?
A: Prenatal evaluations and exams will include many routine health checks, including blood work, recording weight and blood pressure, and possibly urine samples. As the pregnancy progresses, the doctor will monitor the fetal and maternal heart rates. This will be done with ultrasound monitoring and will work to keep an eye on the development and growth of the fetus. Prenatal checkups will be scheduled throughout the entire pregnancy and through delivery. During the pregnancy, the doctor will help moms to plan out exercises and activities to stay healthy which will accommodate the unique challenges of pregnancy and birth. Premier Family Medical can also work with women regarding any special needs or instructions they may have for how they would like their delivery to be handled. The doctors can work with patients to ensure that each woman’s needs are met and her best interests are being served.Q: Why would I need to have a gynecological exam?
A: The doctor ensures that women’s reproductive health is being well cared for. It is suggested that women go to the doctor’s office yearly for their “well- woman” exams.
