Why Consult a Healthcare Professional During Your Pregnancy?
Supporting Healthy Pregnancies
Following your pregnancy with a healthcare professional is essential to support your well-being and your baby’s healthy development. For pregnant women, regular medical follow-up provides personalized guidance on nutrition, physical changes and preparation for the arrival of your newborn, offering invaluable peace of mind.
Throughout your pregnancy, our health professionals at Médicym Clinics monitor your progress and provide recommendations tailored to your needs. Regular appointments may also include a physical exam and other assessments to help ensure the health and well-being of both mother and baby.
Early Detection of Potential Complications
Careful pregnancy follow-up helps quickly identify potential health risks, such as gestational diabetes or high blood pressure. This early monitoring, including blood tests and regular comprehensive exams, is key to helping prevent complications.
Early and regular prenatal care allows your healthcare provider to monitor both child health and the mother’s health throughout pregnancy. It also helps identify factors associated with an increased risk of pregnancy complications, enabling timely intervention when needed.
In some cases, close monitoring can help detect conditions that may contribute to outcomes such as low birth weight or other pregnancy-related concerns. If a pregnancy is high risk, additional assessments and follow-up may be recommended to help support the health and safety of both mother and baby.
What to Expect During Prenatal Visits at Our Clinic
Your First Appointments and Initial Examinations
Your first appointment in one of our clinics, wether you visit our Boisbriand Clinic or our Blainville clinic marks the beginning of personalized support throughout your pregnancy. We discuss your past medical history, answer your questions and plan the first steps, such as blood tests and a referral for your first ultrasound. This appointment is essential to establish a relationship of trust with your healthcare professional.
During these initial visits, our health care providers assess your overall health and ensure that your pregnancy is progressing as expected. For most patients experiencing a normal pregnancy, this evaluation helps establish an appropriate follow-up schedule and identify any additional needs early on.
These appointments also provide an opportunity to discuss prenatal education, including nutrition, lifestyle habits and what to expect throughout each stage of pregnancy.
Monthly Follow-Up and Routine Monitoring
Our pregnancy follow-up includes monthly appointments until delivery with a family physician or specialized nurse practitioner in primary care. These visits allow us to answer your questions, provide personalized support throughout your pregnancy and birth journey, and perform the recommended medical exams and laboratory tests.
During your pregnancy, certain clinical parameters will be monitored to support your health and the development of a healthy baby, including:
- Your weight and vital signs
- The baby’s heartbeat and movements
- The size, shape and height of the uterus
- The presence of contractions, fluid loss or bleeding
