Pregnancy can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time, so here are some guidelines for what to do next:
1. Confirm your pregnancy and determine how far along you are.
2. A medical examination to determine your general health and any risk factors that may occur during your pregnancy.
3. For optimal foetal development during pregnancy, we prescribe certain supplements.
4. During the first trimester, we run some blood tests on mom to confirm antibodies to certain infections. We also test your Iron levels and confirm your blood type.
5. We offer ultrasounds throughout your pregnancy journey, from the first time you hear that little heartbeat to checking your amniotic fluid during the last few days.
We at Steiltes Family Practice would love to join you on your pregnancy journey!
We can also order the necessary blood tests and refer you to a specialist for further management of your pregnancy.
