Obstetrician care

If you've just found out you're expecting, an obstetrician is your first call. An OB specializes in medical care through pregnancy, childbirth, and the weeks after — monitoring your health and your baby's growth, guiding you to delivery, and staying with you through postpartum recovery. Physicians and midwives work as one team so your care never skips a beat.

Care through every trimester

First trimester (weeks 1–12): we confirm your pregnancy, start monthly visits, and offer optional genetic screening around 12 weeks. Second trimester (weeks 13–26): monthly visits continue, with an anatomy ultrasound around week 20 and gestational-diabetes screening. Third trimester (week 27 on): visits move to every two weeks at 30 weeks and weekly from 36 weeks, with Group B strep testing, growth checks, and delivery planning.

What to expect

Expect monthly visits early on, every two weeks from around 30 weeks, and weekly from 36 weeks. Each visit checks your weight, blood pressure, and your baby's heartbeat and growth — with round-the-clock coverage once labor begins.

Common questions
When should I schedule my first OB visit?

As soon as you have a positive test. Your first prenatal visit usually confirms the pregnancy and sets your care schedule.

How do I choose an obstetrician?

Look for a provider who takes your insurance, communicates in a way that fits you, and is part of a team you trust for delivery. Anna Health's OBs and midwives work together across pregnancy and birth.

How often will I be seen?

Monthly through about 28 weeks, every two weeks through 35 weeks, then weekly until delivery — more often if anything needs closer monitoring.

Do you handle high-risk pregnancies?

Yes. We provide high-risk pregnancy care and coordinate additional monitoring and specialists when needed.
