Congratulations, you’re having a baby! Whether you’re expecting your first child or your fourth, the Women's Health providers at West Jefferson Medical Center look forward to planning and preparing you for your new bundle of joy. Our experienced team can help you every step of the way on this incredible journey by offering specialized care in prenatal care, childbirth and post-delivery care.
The well-being of you and your baby is our highest priority, so during your obstetrical checkups we’re monitoring the baby’s heart rate, checking your blood pressure, examining the baby’s development and advising you about the care you need to stay healthy during this most important journey. With a highly-experienced team of compassionate obstetricians, moms-to-be on the Westbank, don’t have to go far to receive the best outcomes in maternity care.
Our expertise not only includes general obstetrics, but we also specialize in treatments for high-risk pregnancies including:
- Multiple births
- Gestational diabetes
- Gestational high blood pressure
- Thyroid disorders
- Pre-mature labor
- Recurrent miscarriages
Many changes and challenges will happen along the way – and we’ll be with you at every step. But the first step to having a healthy baby is having a healthy pregnancy and your journey starts here.
