What To Look For When Choosing a Prenatal Care Provider

So, what should you consider when choosing a prenatal care provider? Your prenatal care provider needs to:

• Spend time with you and your family, discussing your concerns and answering your questions
• Be caring and kind, giving you and your family the reassurance that you are all in good hands
• Offer a full range of services including pregnancy and prenatal counseling, genetic testing, ultrasound and other imaging services, laboratory testing, and more

You should make plans to choose a prenatal care provider when you have begun trying to get pregnant. Choosing a prenatal care provider early can ensure you have prenatal care when you need it. Choosing a prenatal care provider should be done thoughtfully, and not be rushed.
