Pregnancy Confirmation Visit/Viability Ultrasound

Our pregnancy confirmation visit includes a viability and dating ultrasound to confirm your pregnancy and estimate how far along you are. We’ll also complete a full history and risk assessment to determine if midwifery care is the right fit for you, or if it may be more appropriate to see a physician.

During this visit, we’ll also take time to talk through your options — including different models of care and places to give birth, such as hospitals, birth centers, or at home — so you can make an informed decision that aligns with your goals. Even if you decide not to proceed with care at our practice, our priority is that you leave feeling supported and empowered with the information you need.

Our practice provides prenatal and postpartum care only. If you choose to continue care with us, we will support you through your pregnancy and postpartum journey, and the plan will be for you to give birth in the hospital of your choice, with your prenatal records sent ahead to ensure a smooth transition when you go into labor.
