Pregnancy is a new and exciting time, especially if this is your first pregnancy.
If you’re like most expectant moms
you’re probably filled with questions and concerns. A little extra support could
be just what the doctor ordered! At
Cambridge Medical Center, we’ve designed a new clinic with you in mind. Our new
Partners in Pregnancy Clinic is
here to offer you reassurance, guidance and encouragement during this important
time.
Partners in Pregnancy is staffed by experienced labor and delivery nurses, who
have additional certification in
lactation consulting. You are welcome to schedule an appointment as soon as you
know you are pregnant. Often
patients will see us before their first appointment with their obstetrics provider.
Our nurses will answer your
questions and concerns, and offer educational support to promote a healthy pregnancy.
Then about 4 weeks before
your due date, we invite you to schedule a second appointment to discuss your
labor and delivery options and
expectations. This appointment is in addition to any child birth education classes
you might take. And finally, after
you and your new baby have returned home, you will have a follow-up visit at the
clinic. During this visit we will
assess the health of you and your new baby, help you with infant care or feeding
concerns, and provide support for
breast feeding moms.
There is no charge for these Partners in Pregnancy appointments, if you are seeing
a Cambridge Medical Center provider for your
obstetrics care. You will continue to see your chosen physician or midwife throughout
your pregnancy. Additional
lactation support is also available for new moms regardless of where they deliver.
There is a small fee for this service,
but is covered by many insurance plans. You can learn more about our new clinic
or schedule an appointment
by calling 763-689-7725.
