Prenatal Care

Prenatal care is essential to help keep you and your baby healthy. Throughout your pregnancy you will have several prenatal doctor appointments to check in and ensure your babies health and wellbeing. Prenatal care doctors can identify current or potential health problems, or complications early enough to treat them and keep you and your baby healthy. Therefore, it is important to contact your OB or prenatal care provider once you know you are pregnant.
