The obstetrician (OB) you pick should make the experience feel like the incredibly exciting, life-changing, and sometime scary time that it is. The choice of an OB is important and impacts every aspect of pregnancy. Having delivered over 5,000 babies, Dr. Lara Hanlon has advice for how to choose an OB that is right for you.
Pregnancy is an exciting time, but it can also feel overwhelming. You probably have a lot of questions and want to make sure everything goes smoothly for you and your baby. In each trimester, your body changes, and it’s important to know what to ask during your doctor visits. Let’s walk through some important questions for each stage.
Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) are specialized facilities designed to provide advanced care to premature babies and those born with medical complications. The levels of neonatal care are structured to ensure that infants receive the appropriate level of care based on their needs. Understanding levels of neonatal care can guide decisions about where to seek care and what parents can expect for their baby.
Once you’re past the early weeks, you can focus on preparing for baby’s arrival with classes, videos, and planning resources.
Our specialty-trained board-certified physicians and certified nurse midwives are experts at providing you and your baby with compassionate care and exceptional attention.
