Meet Our Providers
What to expect for the first visit and continuing care:
After you have a positive home pregnancy test, give us a call to schedule for your intake visit. We have a team of RN’s who will complete a phone visit with you to collect important information and will ensure you are scheduled in the right timeframe for your first OB visit.
Prenatal care: First visit occurs between 8 – 10 weeks, then every 4 weeks until 28 weeks, then every 2 weeks until you are 36 weeks and then they occur weekly until delivery. Postpartum visits will typically be done 2 and/or 6 weeks following delivery.
Ultrasounds: Patients will complete their ultrasounds at Inland Imaging. The first ultrasound is scheduled after you complete your first visit with an OB provider and then a growth/anatomy ultrasound is typically scheduled after 20 weeks.
Pregnancy Care Locations
First Steps Program
The program is designed to help meet the medical and social service needs of pregnant women. Registered nurses, registered dietitians, behavioral health specialists, community health workers, and infant case managers teach and support women throughout their pregnancy. Depending on the circumstance, services may last until the baby’s first birthday.
We accept outside referrals for services through our First Steps program, you do not have to receive OB care at CHAS to qualify for support.
Breast Feeding Support
We have IBCLC (international board-certified lactation consultants) at CHAS who focus on feeding support for you and you baby. Meeting with a lactation provider in pregnancy can help you plan and prepare for your babies’ arrival. After delivery, our lactation providers can support you in the hospital, at home or at a clinic.
Infant formula, although widely used and aggressively marketed, has some downsides. You deserve to make an informed decision and to know the resources that can support you and your baby.
Nutrition Services
Annette specializes in women’s health nutrition with a focus on pregnancy care. Annette will meet with you during your pregnancy to review prenatal nutrition recommendations, including healthy eating habits and strategies to manage common pregnancy symptoms.
Nutrition services also include nutrition support for fertility, postpartum recovery, infant feeding, and managing chronic conditions like PCOS, diabetes or thyroid disorders. Services can be provided in person or virtually. Patients can self-refer or ask their provider to connect them with a dietitian at any time.
