Pregnancy Care Q & A

What is Involved in Routine Pregnancy Care?

Education is a critical component of pregnancy care; the staff at Reston Women’s Center lets you know how you can protect your growing fetus. Also, the staff makes sure you:

  • Are taking your prenatal vitamins
  • Have appropriate screening tests at each stage of pregnancy
  • Are free of infection
  • Have a baby that’s growing at a proper rate and is healthy at each stage

Reston Women’s Center also has an onsite sonographer to examine your fetus at relevant stages.

Besides expert pregnancy care, you also receive “pregnancy bags” at each visit that are filled with all sorts of samples and goodies to make your journey to motherhood feel extra special.

Regular visits to Reston Women’s Center help you build a connection to the doctors and staff who will be there when you deliver. They can ensure the process goes smoothly and be there to support you should an emergency or complication arise.
