Obstetrics Q & A

What is Obstetrics?

Obstetrics is the medical specialty focused on caring for pregnant women and their babies. At Holistic OB/GYN & Midwifery Service, our midwives provide personalized obstetric care tailored to your needs, including:

  • Monitoring your and your baby’s health through ultrasounds, blood work, and routine screenings

  • Checking for conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or genetic concerns that could lead to complications

  • Offering guidance on diet, exercise, medications, and overall wellness throughout pregnancy

  • Helping you manage common pregnancy symptoms like morning sickness, back pain, and fatigue

Your midwife will also provide clear guidance on what to expect at each stage of pregnancy, answer your questions, and help you feel confident every step of the way.


How Often Should I Have Prenatal Appointments?

  • Weeks 0–28: Once a month

  • Weeks 28–36: Every two weeks

  • Weeks 36–40: Weekly

High-risk pregnancies may require more frequent visits, depending on your health and your baby’s needs. Being labeled “high-risk” doesn’t mean your pregnancy won’t be safe — it simply means closer monitoring may be needed. This includes factors like age over 35, chronic conditions, or pregnancy-related complications.


Why So Many Visits?

Pregnancy is a period of incredible change for your body as it supports new life. Regular prenatal visits allow your midwife to monitor your health and your baby’s development, catch any potential concerns early, and provide peace of mind. Frequent visits also let your midwife get to know you personally, so you feel supported long before your baby arrives.
