Pregnancy is a special journey filled with exciting changes and lots of questions. Having a clear care plan can make a difference, giving you peace of mind. Our antenatal care offers the support, reassurance, and medical guidance you need to navigate each trimester confidently and comfortably.
At our OBGYN practice in Berea, we focus on both you and your baby’s well-being. Every visit is an opportunity to check on your progress, listen to any concerns you may have, and prepare you for the journey ahead.
What is antenatal care?
Antenatal care is the medical support you receive throughout pregnancy. These visits are crucial for keeping an eye on your health and your baby’s growth during each trimester.
Our OBGYN in Berea, Dr Chantel Sewram, provides professional antenatal care that supports you and your pregnancy.
Why is antenatal care important?
Regular check-ups are essential to catch any risks early and give you peace of mind. They also give you a chance to ask questions, learn more about your body, and understand any risk factors you might have.
If any concerns arise, we will be here to make any necessary adjustments to your antenatal plan. We can arrange extra monitoring, referrals, or special tests to ensure both your safety and your baby’s well-being.
When should antenatal care begin?
Most women begin their antenatal care between 6 and 8 weeks into pregnancy. Dr Sewram will advise you on when to schedule your next visits, based on your medical history and your pregnancy’s progress.
What happens at antenatal appointments?
Each appointment is designed to your pregnancy stage and may involve:
- Blood pressure and weight monitoring
- Listening to your baby’s heartbeat
- Urine and blood screening
- Ultrasound referrals
- Checks for gestational conditions
- Guidance on nutrition, rest, and general wellness
- Birth plan discussions later in pregnancy
Appointments are designed to be efficient, allowing time for your questions and concerns.
