Receiving early and regular prenatal care is important. Initial visits can be scheduled as soon as you have a positive pregnancy test. Lasting about two hours, initial visits include a comprehensive health history review, complete physical exam with PAP and
prenatal lab work. 

San Antonio Nurse Midwife follows the same schedule that most physicians follow during the prenatal period. After your initial visit, subsequent 45 minute to one hour visits will take place every four weeks until 28 weeks, every 2 weeks until 36 weeks and weekly after 36 weeks until birth. At each visit the following will be completed/assessed:

-Physical and emotional status
-Vital signs including blood pressure and pulse
-Nutrition
-Urine checked
-Fundal Height
-Fetal Heart Tones and Position 

-Lab work as needed
-Prenatal Education 

As a partner on your birth journey, I strive to establish a personal relationship with you and your significant other. In order to facilitate this relationship, I encourage family member participation during prenatal visits and the birth.
