Skilled Obstetricians for Every Pregnancy
As soon as you find out that you're pregnant, it is essential to do everything you can to make sure your baby grows safe and healthy. You should call and schedule an appointment with your OB/GYN immediately. We here at Central Iowa OB/GYN are always accepting new patients and are ready to get you started on a successful path.
How We Care for Our Patients
If this is your first pregnancy, you may be feeling some very mixed emotions when you first see that positive test. Happiness, joy, love, fear, and insecurity are all very normal feelings to experience. We have seen and treated Des Moines, IA patients for almost 30 years, so we have dealt with many emotional soon-to-be mothers. We pride ourselves in handling the emotional aspect of motherhood extremely effectively and continuously improving our care. We begin every first appointment by:
- Administering a Pelvic Exam
- Preforming normal prenatal labs, including HIV
- Discussing what vitamin regimen to start taking
- Giving out a thorough information packet for you to study
After the initial appointment, you will come back in a month, and we will check your protein, sugar levels, and current weight.
