Free Prenatal Consultation Specialist

What are free prenatal consultations?

Free prenatal consultations with Pediatric Associates of Kentwood are complimentary visits with pediatric doctors that allow you to meet with experts and discuss details about your pregnancy and caring for your new baby after delivery. It’s also a chance to get to know the pediatricians and learn more about their expertise and credentials.

What should I expect during a free prenatal consultation?

During a free prenatal consultation, you meet with pediatricians, address questions or concerns about pregnancy, and learn more about the Pediatric Associates of Kentwood team to see if they are a good fit for you and your family. The pediatricians discuss ways to reduce the risk of complications during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and newborn care.

How can I reduce the chance of pregnancy complications?

Adopting healthy habits during pregnancy is the best way to avoid potential complications. Your specialist recommends the following:

• Eat nutritious foods
• Stay physically active 
• Get plenty of sleep
• Take prenatal supplements
• Avoid toxin exposure
• Don’t smoke
• Avoid alcohol and drug use

Keep stress levels as low as possible before, during, and after pregnancy. Make sure you have a social support system in place to assist you during and after the birth of your baby.

When should I schedule pediatric visits?

Keep the Pediatric Associates of Kentwood staff informed throughout your pregnancy, especially as you approach your due date. 

The team can meet you at the hospital during and after you give birth to complete newborn medical evaluations and treatments when needed. They care for your baby in the hospital and after you return home. 

Your specialist lets you know when to schedule subsequent pediatric visits. They usually suggest a checkup for your baby a few days after you return home or if you notice new or concerning symptoms. 

After that, you might see your Pediatric Associates of Kentwood pediatrician about two weeks after birth, at one month of age, and every few months until your child turns three (and annually after that).
