3D/4D Ultrasound Photo Package For Expecting Mothers!

Now you can take home the magic of childbirth in a special video and photo package. It's an excellent gift for grandparents and friends. • 1 hour ultrasound session • DVD recording • 3 of the best color photos • CD of still photography • Can schedule between 26 and 33 weeks during pregnancy Please contact us for details!

Below is a sample office visit schedule for expecting mothers.

Please note that high risk pregnancies will most likely require more frequent visits, along with ultrasounds for growth and testing towards the end of the pregnancy.

Each mother is unique, so we will determine the best course of action for you at your initial office visit to ensure you and your child are healthy and happy.

• FIRST VISIT: Usually at 6-8 weeks, we will discuss your obstetrics history.
• 10 WEEKS: You and I get to know each other. We will do a complete physical including a pap smear with cultures. We should hear a fetal heart beat. If we don't upon examination, then an ultrasound will be ordered. This can be very reassuring to new moms. Once a fetal heart beat is seen, there is a less than 5% chance of spontaneous miscarriage!
• 15-20 WEEKS: We will offer you a quad screen. This is a laboratory blood draw that measures four hormones in the blood. Based on the results we can interpret if you are at low or high risk for having babies with chromosomal abnormalities, neural tube defects, and/or abdominal wall defects.
• 24 WEEKS: We address any and all questions you may have.
• 28 WEEKS: Optimal time for 3D/4D scan, offer repeat STD testing, Glucose screen, and blood level.
• 30 WEEKS: We check blood pressure and urine dip to evaluate for evidence of preeclampsia.
• 33 WEEKS: We check blood pressure and urine dip again to evaluate for evidence of preeclampsia.
• 35 WEEKS: GBS screening.
• 37 WEEKS: Now considered full term, we discuss your intimate desires for the labor and delivery of your unborn child.
• 38-40 WEEKS: Cervical exam and discussing labor plans. It is such a blessing for all involved! Your special gift is about to arrive!
