When you’re having a baby, you want the best prenatal care. Getting started is as simple as coming to Bay Area Birth Center for a pregnancy test!
Personal care and attention for your unique pregnancy
When you choose a midwife for your prenatal care, she spends 30-45 minutes with you at each appointment, in a relaxed and comfortable manner that gives her time to listen to your concerns. She also:
- Checks your blood pressure and weight gain
- Reviews a urine sample for the presence of glucose and protein
- Discusses your nutrition and activities
- Checks your baby’s growth, position and heart rate
- Obtains a blood sample for testing, as needed
The purpose of prenatal care is to identify problems that can be prevented, and your nurse-midwife follows procedures similar to the obstetrical care you’d receive from an OB/GYN or anywhere else. At Bay Area Birth Center, every expectant mother enjoys personal care and attention supporting her journey through this unique pregnancy.
