Midwives order lab work and ultrasounds to check on your and your baby's health.

Clinical Care

Heart Care

Midwife uses hands on care to check you and your baby.

At each prenatal as your midwife I look out for you and your baby. The clinical care I give is a lot like you would expect in any practice.

❥ Reassessing dates
❥ Measuring the growth of your baby
❥ Listening to your baby's heart tones
❥ Asking about your baby's movements
❥ Assessing your baby's position
❥ Assessing your liver and kidney function
❥ Taking your blood pressure
❥ Documenting your weight
❥ Providing a urine test
❥ Complete laboratory care offered
❥ Going over previous Obstetric care
❥ Ultrasound referral offered when needed

If you have received care in the past for pregnancy, you may notice a few differences. Besides the clinical care mentioned on this page you can expect at least some emotional heart care such as:

❥ Spiritual guidance
❥ Personal relationships
❥ Body image confidence
❥ Emotional guidance affected by hormonal changes
❥ A deep connection encouraged between you and your baby
❥ Nutritional instruction
❥ Life style education
❥ Words of affirmation
❥ Enouraging a bond between you and your partner
