What are pregnancy consultations?

Pregnancy consultations at Urgyn involve pregnancy testing and evaluations that assess the health of you and your unborn baby. The Urgyn experts provide recommendations and referrals as needed to ensure superior pregnancy care for your family. Seeing a specialist during pregnancy helps you and your new addition remain healthy with a low risk of complications.  

Am I a candidate for pregnancy consultations?

If you’re pregnant, suspect you’re pregnant, or are trying to become pregnant, pregnancy consultations at Urgyn are for you. 

Symptoms of pregnancy include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Fatigue
• Swollen or tender breasts
• Missed periods
• Moodiness
• Increased urination
• Bloating
• Constipation
• Nasal congestion
• Food aversions 

You might also have light spotting (implantation bleeding) about 10-14 days after conception, which is an early sign of pregnancy. 

What happens during pregnancy consultations?

Before pregnancy consultations at Urgyn, you meet with an OB/GYN specialist. They weigh you, check your vital signs, and complete a physical exam. You might need a urine test to evaluate pregnancy hormones, blood testing to assess your overall health, and an ultrasound to create images of internal reproductive organs and your unborn baby.

During a telehealth pregnancy visit, the Urgyn team makes recommendations to ensure a healthy pregnancy. They offer advice regarding:

• Meal planning during pregnancy 
• Exercise 
• Sleep requirements
• Dietary supplements
• Stress reduction
• Labor and delivery
• Breastfeeding
• Things to avoid

Urgyn also offers vaccinations, additional ultrasounds throughout pregnancy, medication prescriptions when necessary, and other treatments as needed.

It’s important to tell your specialist about unusual symptoms and medications or supplements you’re taking. It’s vital to avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, using drugs, and taking certain medications. 

The Urgyn providers refer you to another specialist if needed to ensure superior health outcomes for you and your new addition. 

How often should I see my OB/GYN specialist for pregnancy consultations?

The Urgyn team lets you know how often to schedule virtual pregnancy visits based on how far along you are in your pregnancy and if the pregnancy is high- or low-risk. It’s typical to see your provider once a month during the first part of your pregnancy and increase the frequency to twice a month and eventually weekly until labor begins. 

The Urgyn team is available anytime you have questions or concerns. Call the Urgyn office if you experience unusual symptoms, such as bleeding, pelvic pain, cramping, or decreased fetal movement.
