High-Quality Pregnancy Care

The foundation of a healthy pregnancy starts with your first prenatal visit. We recommend scheduling as soon as you know you’re pregnant. At this appointment, we conduct a full pelvic exam, routine blood work, and urinalysis, and take a detailed medical history. 

Existing conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure require careful management throughout pregnancy, and our physicians coordinate that care from day one. Bring any medications or supplements to your first visit so we can review them with you.

Managing Pregnancy Symptoms

Pregnancy changes the body in ways that can feel overwhelming, especially for first-time mothers. Morning sickness affects roughly half of all pregnant women, and it is far from the only discomfort to prepare for. 

Hormonal fluctuations, increased blood volume, and the physical demands of a growing baby can cause fatigue, heartburn, constipation, swelling, backaches, and more. Our team helps you manage these symptoms with practical, medically sound guidance tailored to your individual needs.

Weight gain is another common area of concern. Healthy gain during pregnancy depends on your pre-pregnancy BMI. It ranges from 28 to 40 pounds for women who were underweight beforehand, to 15 to 25 pounds for those who were overweight prior to pregnancy. We monitor this throughout your care to keep both you and your baby on track.

Fetal Monitoring and Ultrasound

Ultrasounds play a key role in tracking your baby’s development. An early first-trimester ultrasound confirms the location of the pregnancy and the number of babies. Around 18 to 20 weeks, a detailed anatomy scan examines the baby’s size, position, and amniotic fluid levels. This is also when many parents learn the sex of their baby.

At Rosh MFM, we also offer advanced 3D and 4D ultrasound between 27 and 32 weeks. These high-definition scans provide detailed images of your baby’s anatomy, including the face, offering a remarkable window into your baby’s world before birth.

Labor and Delivery

As your due date approaches, our physicians prepare you for what to expect during labor and delivery. We review your birth plan, discuss pain management options, and address any concerns about delivery. Our goal is for you to feel informed, prepared, and in good hands when the time comes.

Your Pregnancy Deserves More Than Routine Checkups

At Rosh MFM, we combine advanced fetal monitoring, 3D/4D ultrasound, and expert obstetric care to give you and your baby the best possible start.

Pregnancy Q & A

Q.

When should you schedule your first prenatal appointment?

A.

It’s important to schedule your first prenatal appointment as soon as you know you’re pregnant, to be sure you and your baby are healthy. You’ll have a full pelvic examination, routine blood tests and urinalysis, and then update your medical history.

Your doctor helps you manage any chronic health conditions you have that affect your pregnancy or the health of your baby, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. If you take medications or supplements, bring them with you. Your doctor will review them to be sure they’re safe to use while you’re pregnant.

Q.

How much weight should you gain during pregnancy?

A.

Healthy weight gain is based on your pre-pregnancy body mass index. The recommended weight gain during pregnancy ranges from 28-40 pounds for women who were underweight before they became pregnant to 15-25 pounds for women who were overweight prior to pregnancy.

Q.

What should you know about common discomforts during pregnancy?

A.

One of the most common pregnancy discomforts is morning sickness, which affects about half of all women. But it’s not the only issue that develops due to normal changes during pregnancy such as fluctuating hormones, increased blood volume, and the weight of the baby. Many women experience:

  • Fatigue
  • Heartburn and indigestion
  • Constipation
  • Water retention (swelling of feet, fingers)
  • Congested or bloody nose
  • Bleeding gums
  • Skin changes (brown patches)
  • Backache
  • Hemorrhoids

Q.

When will you get an ultrasound?

A.

Your doctor may perform an ultrasound any time during your pregnancy to examine your baby’s growth and position. An early ultrasound in the first trimester is used to verify the location of the pregnancy and the number of babies.

Most women have an ultrasound that’s done around 18-20 weeks to examine the baby’s size, anatomy, position, and the amount of amniotic fluid. You may learn the sex of your baby during this second-trimester ultrasound.

At Rosh Maternal & Fetal Medicine, you can also get 3D and 4D ultrasound around 27-32 weeks. These high-definition images reveal clear images of your baby’s anatomy, including the face.

Q.

What if you have a high-risk pregnancy?

A.

The doctors at Rosh Maternal & Fetal Medicine specialize in high-risk obstetrics. Simply put, they’re trusted experts in high-risk pregnancies, so you’ll receive the highest quality care. They provide comprehensive prenatal care and all the advanced medical procedures you may need including amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling, cervical cerclage, and in utero transfusions.
