Many family physicians offer prenatal and obstetrical care, so you can keep the same doctor during your pregnancy. Your family physician can also be your baby’s doctor. Also, some of our family nurse practitioners provide prenatal and future baby care.
Overview
Many M Health Fairview family medicine physicians and some nurse practitioners provide obstetrical care in addition to trusted primary care. This means they can take care of you and your family during and after your pregnancy.
Our approach
At M Health Fairview, our family medicine team is dedicated to caring for people at every stage of life. That’s why many family medicine providers offer obstetrical care in addition to expert primary care, giving you the same care that you know and trust for your family throughout pregnancy and when your baby is born.
One great thing about having your own family doctor or nurse practitioner care for you during pregnancy is that they already know your health. If you have health issues like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes, they can help you manage them while you’re pregnant and help you prepare for pregnancy.
If your pregnancy or delivery needs become more complex, family physicians work closely with OB/GYN and maternal-fetal medicine colleagues to make sure you get the best care.
Family medicine providers are a great choice for newborns, children, and the whole family. Our family medicine providers can see kids too, so you can stay with the same provider for your whole family. Having one provider who knows your family helps everyone get the care they need.
