When should I schedule a pregnancy consultation?

You can schedule a consultation at Aventura OB-GYN Specialists if you think you might be pregnant or if you take a pregnancy test at home that turns out positive.

Aventura OB-GYN Specialists offer on-site blood tests to confirm a pregnancy at the earliest stage. Early confirmation ensures you get the prenatal care you need to support the growth and development of your baby.

The experienced medical providers also offer comprehensive care through all phases of pregnancy and during labor and delivery for adult women and adolescent girls.

What pregnancy services are available?

Aventura OB-GYN Specialists provide integrative prenatal care and pregnancy services like:

• Routine exams
• Ultrasounds
• Fetal monitoring
• Blood tests and other lab work
• Labor and delivery plans

The providers can also address high-risk pregnancy concerns in women over 35, those carrying multiples, and expectant mothers with existing health issues like diabetes or high blood pressure.

Following childbirth, the specialists continue to offer resources that support moms as they navigate the challenges of parenthood, breastfeeding, and newborn care.

What can I expect during my initial pregnancy appointment?

During your initial visit to Aventura OB-GYN Specialists for pregnancy care, the providers review your personal and family medical histories, your pregnancy history, lifestyle, and diet. They complete a pregnancy test and also perform a physical to assess your overall health and a pelvic exam to evaluate your reproductive health.

The providers can estimate your due date and answer any questions you have about your pregnancy. They help you schedule routine prenatal visits for low-risk pregnancies once a month until you get closer to your due date. If your pregnancy is high-risk, you may need more frequent visits for closer monitoring.

You can also access resources to support your health throughout pregnancy. The team can prescribe prenatal vitamins, recommend exercises you can do during pregnancy, and suggest lifestyle and diet changes that ensure you and your baby are healthy.

At each follow-up visit, the providers measure the growth of your baby and monitor your health. They also use ultrasound technology to assess your baby’s development. As you get closer to your due date, the team creates a labor and delivery plan to prepare you for childbirth.
