Pregnancy Q & A
How Do I Choose an Obstetrician?
Choosing an obstetrician or OB/GYN is important to every pregnancy. Obstetricians are trained to treat a number of women’s health care concerns as well as any complications which may arise during the pregnancy or birth. When choosing an obstetrician, it is important that you find someone you are comfortable with and who has the proper training to assist you throughout the entire process. Scheduling a consultation with the doctor is a good way to determine if you will be comfortable with the doctor. During the consultation ask numerous questions, especially about any type of preexisting condition you may have, such as diabetes, and regarding any special instructions or requests which you have for how the labor and delivery will be handled.
How Do I Make Sure I Have a Healthy Pregnancy?
Eating healthy and maintaining safe activities levels during pregnancy are very important factors to ensuring a healthy pregnancy. When pregnant, sticking to a balanced diet is the best way to receive the nutrients and vitamins you need. While vitamin supplements are available, pregnant women should only take them under the direction of their health care provider and it is important to remember that supplements, such as prenatal vitamins, do not replace a balanced diet but work hand in hand with one. It is also important to remember to engage in moderate activity as recommended by your doctor.
What Happens During a Prenatal Exam?
During the prenatal exam many routine health care checkup items will be completed, such as blood work, urine samples, and your weight and blood pressure will be monitored. As time goes on, the doctor or obstetrician will monitor both yours and your baby’s heart rate and usually ultrasounds will be performed to view the baby’s progress. These basic prenatal checkups will continue throughout the pregnancy and ensure that it is progressing as it should.
