Obstetrics Center
Pregnancy and childbirth are extremely important events in a woman’s life. The Obstetrics Center team at Grace is committed to providing the best possible care for you and your baby. Our highly experienced physicians and caring staff delight in taking care of the medical needs of expectant moms from pre-pregnancy planning through delivery and postpartum care.
The time to meet with an obstetrician is before conception, when you’re first considering pregnancy. A pre-conception visit provides you and your doctor an opportunity to discuss potential risk factors, personal and family medical history and to identify needs for testing. This is also the time to receive information and advice about pre-natal dietary needs, nutrient supplementation and lifestyle changes.
The Obstetrics Center is committed to giving you and your baby a safe and memorable delivery experience. We provide traditional vaginal birth and both medically indicated and elective Cesarean Section births. Your provider and staff will be happy to educate you on the advantages and disadvantages each birth option.
