We welcome your questions. If possible, please hold routine questions for your regular prenatal visits. If you have urgent or non-urgent questions that need to be addressed prior to your visit, please call our office during regular office hours. On weekends and after office hours, you may contact the doctor/nurse on call through the same number. We ask that you limit these after-hours calls to emergencies only. If we determine that you need to be evaluated immediately, we will have you go to your delivering hospital.  \nPlease call us immediately if you:  \n• Experience bleeding (some bleeding for 1-2 days after vaginal exams or intercourse is normal and does not require a call)  \n• Have cramps that are persistent or severe abdominal pain  \n• Have a fever of 101°F or higher  \n• Vomiting and unable to hold down fluids for more than 24 hours or signs of dehydration  \n• Have decreased fetal movement defined as less than 6 movements or kicks over the course of an hour during a normal active period  \n• Are leaking fluid, your water is breaking  \n• Have contractions that are more than 6 an hour before 37 weeks  \n• Think you are in labor, experiencing painful contractions lasting one minute, occurring every five minutes for at least one hour  \nYour Prenatal Visits  \nBecause pregnancy is a time of great change for your body as well as the fetus, you will be visiting our office on a regular basis. During your regular visits, your weight, blood pressure and urine will be checked. Your abdomen is measured to check fetal growth and we will listen to your baby’s heartbeat.  \nRoutine Visits are Scheduled:  \n• Every 4 weeks until 28 or 30 weeks  \n• Every 2 weeks between 30-36 weeks  \n• Weekly from 36 weeks to delivery  \nWe may request that you be seen more frequently if you have complications or are considered high risk. It is advisable to make several appointments in advance with all the different practitioners who will participate in your care. If you need to cancel, please call us at least 24 hours before the appointment.  \nRoutine Care by Gestational Age:  \n• 6-12 weeks (initial visit): Review health history and go over routine pregnancy education. First trimester prenatal labs will be drawn. This includes your blood type, blood count, screening for infections (syphilis, hepatitis B and C, and HIV), urine evaluation, and anyother screening indicated by your health history.
