✨ Initial Prenatal Appt ✨
Midwives typically start care around 10 weeks of pregnancy, unless of course concerns prompt sooner assessment… The initial appt consists of:
- Reviewing medical/pregnancy history
- Going through current health/lifestyle/eating habits
- Discussing proper supplementation
- Running initial bloodwork, urinalysis & STD testing
- Genetic bloodwork with informed consent
- Listening to baby’s heart tones via Doppler
- Assessing maternal vitals
- Ultrasound for dating if unsure on estimated due date
Midwives take their time with you, really getting to know you & your family. Guiding each mom properly for what she may need or what may be best for her & her baby while respecting her decisions for her own health care 🌿
Yes I midwife myself through my students or aspiring student (aka little sister) lol Always weird when I’m sitting on the other side of the office as the client instead of the midwife haha
