What is prenatal care?

Prenatal care is the ongoing medical and emotional support you receive throughout pregnancy to ensure a healthy, safe experience for you and your baby. Regular checkups allow your provider to monitor fetal development, manage any pregnancy-related symptoms, and identify potential complications early.

At Bloom Women’s Health, prenatal visits go beyond medical monitoring — they’re an opportunity to ask questions, discuss nutrition and lifestyle habits, and receive the reassurance and guidance you need for each stage of pregnancy.

What prenatal services are available?

Bloom Women’s Health offers comprehensive pregnancy care, from early confirmation to postpartum follow-up. Each care plan is tailored to your unique needs, preferences, and goals for delivery.

Early pregnancy confirmation and assessment

Your first visit typically includes a physical examination, blood work, and an ultrasound to confirm your pregnancy, establish the gestational age, and assess your overall health.

Routine prenatal visits

Throughout each trimester, your provider monitors your baby’s growth, tracks vital signs, and checks for conditions such as gestational diabetes or preeclampsia. These visits also offer guidance on managing morning sickness, fatigue, and other common symptoms.

Ultrasound and fetal monitoring

State-of-the-art imaging offers detailed insights into your baby’s development, providing accurate and timely information about growth milestones and movement.

Genetic screening and testing

Optional tests can help identify genetic or chromosomal conditions early, providing peace of mind and enabling planning for any special needs or next steps.

Nutrition and lifestyle counseling

A proper diet, regular exercise, and emotional balance are essential for a healthy pregnancy. Bloom offers personalized recommendations to enhance your energy, mood, and overall well-being.

High-risk pregnancy management

If you have preexisting conditions, multiple gestation, or other risk factors, Bloom coordinates closely with maternal-fetal medicine specialists to ensure advanced, comprehensive care.

Postpartum follow-up

After delivery, Bloom continues to provide care for recovery, lactation support, emotional wellness, and birth control planning if desired. This holistic approach helps patients transition smoothly into motherhood.

When should someone schedule their first prenatal visit?

It’s best to schedule your first prenatal appointment as soon as you suspect or confirm pregnancy — ideally between six and eight weeks of gestation. Early care allows your provider to establish a strong foundation for monitoring your health and your baby’s growth throughout all three trimesters.

If you experience symptoms like severe nausea, pain, or bleeding early in pregnancy, contact the office right away for prompt evaluation and support.

From prenatal education to postpartum recovery, Bloom is dedicated to nurturing your body, your baby, and your peace of mind. Schedule a prenatal consultation at Bloom Women’s Health online or by phone today.
