Prenatal Development Assessments
Expecting a new addition to your family? Congratulations! Our prenatal visits offer a wonderful opportunity to get to know your local pediatricians, discuss your expectations, and prepare for your baby’s arrival.
First Stages
The first stage of the pediatrician's prenatal development assessment usually begins during the first trimester of pregnancy.
At this stage, we may recommend that expectant parents schedule an initial consultation to discuss the mother’s medical history, lifestyle, and any potential risks that could affect the pregnancy. This assessment is critical as it provides the pediatrician with a comprehensive understanding of the mother’s health, including any pre-existing conditions, medications, and family health history. It allows the pediatrician to begin building a relationship with the parents and to offer guidance on nutrition, supplements, and other essential aspects of a healthy pregnancy.

Next Stages
During the second trimester, we typically conduct various routine evaluations to make sure that the pregnancy is progressing normally.
As the pregnancy progresses, the expectant mother may undergo several routine tests, such as ultrasounds or genetic screenings, which provide valuable insight about the baby's development and health. We may also recommend regular prenatal visits with obstetricians for continuous monitoring of the mother's health. We also focus on the emotional and psychological well-being of expectant parents. The journey of pregnancy can be filled with a range of emotions, from excitement to anxiety. We provide resources and support to help parents manage any concerns they may have about childbirth and parenting.
Final Stages
As the third trimester approaches, we guide and support parents in their preparation for the arrival of their baby.
This preparation may involve discussions about labor and delivery, newborn care, and the essence of establishing a pediatric care plan. We often encourage parents to consider the type of pediatric care they would like for their newborn, including questions about breastfeeding, vaccination schedules, and establishing a routine for well-child visits. Sharing this knowledge early in the pregnancy can help ease the transition into parenthood and make sure that families are well-prepared to welcome their new addition.

Additional Support
By actively participating in the community, we help raise awareness for the support available to families for safer and healthier outcomes for children.
We educate parents about potential developmental milestones and health issues that may arise during the early stages of their child's life. Knowledge about conditions such as jaundice, colic, and feeding issues can empower parents to recognize signs that may require medical attention. We engage in community efforts to promote maternal and child health. These initiatives include workshops, support groups, and educational programs aimed at educating families about prenatal care, child development, adolescent growth, and parenting skills.
