Pregnancy

Basic Pregnancy Info

Celebrating the wonder and excitement of a new beginning, our team at Seasons has distinctive histories of women’s health excellence.

Prenatal Vitamins

You will get most of the vitamins and minerals you need from a healthy diet. However, it is difficult to get enough calcium, iron and folic acid from food alone. We recommend taking a prenatal vitamin every day.

Because neural tube defects develop early in pregnancy, folic acid supplementation before conception is recommended for women of childbearing age.

If you have questions about prenatal vitamins or folic acid, contact our office. Refills can be handled through your pharmacist.

Your Obstetric Visits & Testing

Visits are typically every four weeks until 28 weeks, every two to three weeks until 36 weeks, and weekly until delivery.

Routine testing includes blood work, pap smear and cultures at the first visit; diabetes and anemia screening in the second trimester; and Group B Strep testing at 35–36 weeks.

Medications During Pregnancy

Use the following as a general guideline. Contact our office if symptoms persist or if you have a fever over 100.4°F.
