Prenatal Care

Pregnancy is an important and transformative time, and receiving consistent prenatal care is critical for both mother and baby. UWH of Texas Ob/Gyn providers guide patients through each stage of pregnancy, offering expert care, education, and support to help promote healthy outcomes.

From the very first visit, providers perform a comprehensive evaluation to confirm the pregnancy, review medical history, and discuss overall health. Regular prenatal visits include monitoring maternal vital signs, measuring fetal growth, and assessing development to identify any concerns early. The goal is to prevent complications and support healthy progress throughout pregnancy.

Prenatal Services

Prenatal care includes a wide range of services to monitor the health of both mother and baby:

  • Routine check-ups to track growth and development
  • Ultrasound imaging for detailed visualization of the baby
  • Laboratory testing to screen for conditions such as anemia, gestational diabetes, and infections
  • Nutritional guidance to support healthy weight gain and fetal development
  • Education on pregnancy, labor, delivery, and newborn care
  • Monitoring and management of high-risk pregnancies or pre-existing medical conditions

Our providers use each visit to review patient questions and provide guidance on lifestyle choices, diet, and activity. We emphasize mental health, offering support for emotional well-being during the physical and hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy.

Preparing for Delivery and Postnatal Care

As the pregnancy progresses, providers discuss birth plans, signs of labor, and options for pain management during delivery. Postnatal care begins immediately after birth with visits to monitor recovery, address postpartum concerns, and evaluate your overall health. Guidance on infant care, breastfeeding, and family planning is also provided to ensure the transition to parenthood is safe and well-supported.

Family Planning and Contraception

We’re here to offer guidance on contraception to help you take control of your timeline to plan future pregnancies or prevent unintended pregnancies. Options are explained clearly, taking into account health history, lifestyle, and personal preferences. Book an appointment with a provider to discuss family planning and contraception options.
