Obstetrical Care
Early
and regular care is important to assure having a healthy baby. We
provide you with a whole health team which includes obstetricians and a
registered nurse practitioner. This is a group practice and we ask that
you meet with all providers in the group during your pregnancy.
In addition to general obstetrics we are qualified to manage high-risk
situations as well. High risk obstetrics includes management of preterm
labor, high blood pressure, twin pregnancies and diabetes. If necessary,
we may consult with perinatologists at nearby university centers, if
a patient needs specialized care.
VBAC
(vaginal birth after cesarean) To see if you are a candidate you must
meet minimum criteria: at least one vaginal delivery previously, no
more than one low segment transverse cesarean section, no induction in
present pregnancy. The doctors will review all information with you at
your first appointment. If you have questions re: medications to take or
chemicals that you may be exposed to during your pregnancy please
contact the Pregnancy Environmental Hot line 781-487-2386.
In
conjunction with Monadnock Community Hospital we offer childbirth
classes, breast feeding classes, sibling classes, please contact Pat O'Connell for further information or a complete list of classes.
The
Bond Wellness Center also offers Prenatal Yoga and Prenatal Aquatics
classes. To inquire about those classes please call 924-7191 and ask
