What can I expect during preconception and prenatal visits?

If you’re ready to start your family, your Swor Women’s Care provider can perform a thorough examination of your reproductive system to ensure your body is in the optimal condition to support a healthy pregnancy. They can also offer nutrition and exercise guidance, as well as prenatal supplements, to get your body ready for a baby.

If you’re already pregnant, your provider creates a custom treatment plan to guide you through a healthy pregnancy. Prenatal visits ensure both you and your baby are healthy and developing on track.

Throughout your pregnancy, your prenatal appointments will include:

• Pelvic exams
• Blood testing
• Fetal measurements
• Nutritional counseling

To ensure your baby is developing normally, your Swor Women’s Care provider schedules ultrasound tests, which also allow you to see your baby and determine its gender.

Prenatal appointments generally occur once a month until you reach 26 weeks. Visits increase to twice a month until week 36, when you schedule checkups weekly until you go into labor.

Where will I deliver my baby?

The staff at Swor Women’s Care works closely with Sarasota Memorial Hospital’s maternity team to ensure you experience a safe, memorable birthing experience. Whether you seek a natural childbirth or require a more complex birth plan for existing health issues, such as a vaginal birth after C-section (VBAC), your provider can accommodate your needs.

Sarasota Memorial hospital provides 24/7 obstetrics services and includes a level 3 neonatal intensive care unit for emergencies. You can also expect a comfortable room and family-focused mother and baby recovery units.
