We are pleased to be able to share in this extraordinary time in your life. Adding a new member of your family is always an exciting event, and a healthy outcome starts with the care that you can find with us. We believe that you are an active partner in your medical care. We will discuss available options together and encourage you to be an active participant in the decision-making process. We realize that some women benefit from pain medication in labor, while others prefer not to use any. Our goal is to have a healthy baby and a healthy you.
With our state-of-the-art Siemens Acuson Antares Ultrasound machine, the
activities of your baby inside the womb can be seen which are difficult or
impossible to identify on 2D scanning. For example with 4D scanning the fetus
can now be seen to yawn, cry, swallow, blink and perf
orm intricate finger
movements. These activities can be seen in mid pregnancy although they become
more common as pregnancy advances.
