People Also Ask
When should I schedule my first prenatal appointment?
It’s best to schedule your first prenatal visit as soon as you find out you’re pregnant. Early care helps us provide personalized support from the very start.
How can partners or support persons be involved?
Partners and support persons can play an important role by attending tours and prenatal classes, learning about labor and delivery, and being present during birth for emotional encouragement. They can also stay involved with postpartum care by helping with baby bonding and offering practical support as you recover.

Our pain relief options include medical interventions, such as epidurals and IV medications. We also offer natural methods with breathing exercises, aromatherapy and hydrotherapy. Your care team will discuss all options with you and support your preferences to make your birth as comfortable as possible.

Lactation consultants usually visit within the first few hours after delivery to provide hands-on assistance with breastfeeding techniques. They help ensure a good latch, address any difficulties and offer ongoing support throughout your hospital stay as well as after you go home.
