Obstetrics

Obstetrics plays an important role in supporting women’s wellness during one of the most significant and transformative times in their lives. From monitoring the health of both the mother and baby to addressing concerns that may arise during pregnancy, having the guidance and expertise of a trusted provider is essential.

Building a relationship with a team member who listens, understands, and prioritizes your unique needs can provide immense peace of mind. This ensures both a healthy and positive experience throughout your pregnancy, labor, and delivery.

At Upstate Community OBGYN & Midwifery, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care for women who are or wish to become pregnant. Our services span from preconception counseling to attentive prenatal care that monitors your progress, all the way through to postpartum support.

Prenatal Care

Our dedicated, supportive staff are happy to provide a range of prenatal services to assist you through each stage of your journey to motherhood.

Preconception counseling is a proactive and empowering step for anyone planning a pregnancy. This specialized care focuses on preparing your body and mind for a healthy pregnancy by addressing key aspects of your health, lifestyle, and family history. During these visits, potential risks are identified and addressed. Personalized guidance is also provided to both you and your partner to optimize your well-being before conception.

Prenatal genetic screening and diagnostic testing are valuable tools that help assess the health of your baby early in pregnancy. These tests are designed to identify potential genetic conditions, offering crucial insights that can guide your care and planning. By taking advantage of these screenings, expectant parents can gain peace of mind and the ability to make informed decisions about their baby’s well-being.

Prenatal care is all about supporting you and your baby throughout your pregnancy and preparing for a healthy delivery. It includes regular check-ups to monitor your baby’s growth and development, as well as guidance on maintaining your own health. From answering your questions to addressing any concerns, your care team is there for you every step of the way, ensuring you feel confident and supported as you get ready to welcome your little one into the world.

Postpartum Care

We recognize that carrying and delivering a child can take a toll on a mother’s body. That is why our obstetrics services also include comprehensive postpartum care, addressing the unique needs of new mothers.

Postpartum care focuses on helping new mothers recover and adjust after childbirth by offering support for both physical healing and emotional well-being. This includes guidance on recovery, managing any challenges, and monitoring mental health to ensure mothers feel supported and cared for during this significant transition.

As a baby-friendly institution, we provide both inpatient and outpatient breastfeeding support with a certified lactation consultant. Breastfeeding education and support provide new mothers with the knowledge and confidence to nurture their baby in the best way possible.

With guidance from healthcare professionals, mothers can learn about the many benefits of breastfeeding, from strengthening the baby’s immune system to fostering a deep bond. Having professional support is very important to address common challenges, as our providers offer practical tips and ensure mothers feel encouraged throughout their breastfeeding journey.

Postpartum contraceptive care is an important step in planning your family’s future and supporting your own well-being. We provide personalized education to help you understand the range of contraceptive options available, allowing you to select what best fits your lifestyle and needs. With compassionate guidance, we ensure you feel informed and confident in making decisions that align with your goals during this unique phase of life.
