Pregnancy Q & A
What is involved in pregnancy care?
Pregnancy care involves pre-pregnancy counseling, prenatal support, and post-natal care. If you’re thinking about getting pregnant, Dr. Guballa helps you tune up your lifestyle to maximize your chances of a successful pregnancy and make you as healthy as possible in advance. This may include beginning prenatal vitamins, stopping certain medications, and recommendations on diet and exercise.
Prenatal care involves monitoring you during your pregnancy. Dr. Guballa offers appropriate screenings, monitors your baby’s growth, ensures you and baby are healthy, and addresses any potential complications before they become serious. You come into the office for regular prenatal visits to ensure your pregnancy is on track.
Postnatal care is the time after delivery when baby seems central, but mom still needs health support. Dr. Guballa ensures you’re healing from delivery appropriately, answers questions about breastfeeding, and checks in with your mental and physical health.
