If you are pregnant or thinking about starting a family, finding an OB/GYN doctor is critical to protect your health and your baby's health. Dr. Vonne Jones at Total Women’s Care Of The Heights in Houston, TX, offers a wide range of OB/GYN services, including prenatal delivery care.

How Your OB/GYN Doctor Can Help During Your Pregnancy and Delivery

Your OB/GYN doctor provides comprehensive prenatal care, including:

• Performing an initial pregnancy examination
• Providing routine examinations during your pregnancy term
• Evaluating factors that may lead to a high-risk pregnancy
• Ordering and reviewing an ultrasound and laboratory testing

Information and education about pregnancy are critical, especially for first-time moms. Your OB/GYN doctor can provide tools and information, including:

• Dietary and nutritional counseling and meal planning
• Use of supplements and vitamins, including prenatal vitamins
• Developing a safe, regular exercise program to help you stay strong and flexible

Your OBGYN doctor will also screen you for gestational diabetes and other health concerns that may indicate a high-risk pregnancy. Visits with the OB/GYN doctor are more frequent when you are in the third trimester of your pregnancy. Your OB/GYN doctor will check your cervix as your delivery date approaches. During the third trimester, your doctor will discuss important considerations about your delivery, including your hospital stay and anesthesia.

Your OBGYN doctor will help you deliver your baby in a healthy and safe environment, ensuring its growth. Your OBGYN doctor can also help you choose a pediatrician to care for your baby after delivery and as your child grows.
