Prenatal Care

Preconception Visit

Thinking of having a baby?

Before you get pregnant, come in to Garrison Women’s Health in Dover, NH for a preconception care visit.

Together, we can review general recommendations for health and nutrition before you get pregnant, as well as address any specific issues or concerns you or your partner might have.

Some of these may include:

• Exercising while pregnant
• Screening for genetic conditions
• Supplements and prenatal vitamins
• Pre-existing medical conditions
• Vaccinations

Prenatal care is sometimes referred to as “routine,” but we also want to offer real choices and respect your individual needs and perspectives.  We know that people have different backgrounds, values, and cultures, and we respect that.  In fact, we thrive on that!

We will collaborate and partner with you in providing your care.  We will communicate honestly and openly, and we want you to do the same. 
 
If you have had a high risk pregnancy in the past or a difficult labor experience, we can discuss this in preparation for your next birth experience.
