Family Planning and Pre-Conception Counseling
For patients who have pregnancy plans or want to delay pregnancy, we provide family planning and pre-conception counseling. Our team offers guidance on birth control options, fertility awareness, and overall reproductive health to help you make informed decisions about your family planning goals.
Prenatal Care
Proper prenatal care is vital for the health of the mother and the baby. Lack of proper prenatal care can result in a number of issues, including low birth weight. During the prenatal care process, patients are monitored for any risks, which can then be addressed right away. This lowers the chance of complications so that patients can experience a safe delivery of their healthy infant.
Ultrasound Imaging
Our ultrasound services allow for detailed monitoring of your baby’s development throughout your pregnancy. These imaging services are essential for assessing fetal health and identifying any potential issues early on.
High-Risk Pregnancy Care
For patients with high-risk pregnancies, our team provides specialized care to manage and mitigate potential complications. We work closely with you to monitor your health and the development of your baby, offering tailored support to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Labor and Delivery Services
We offer a range of labor and delivery services to accommodate your preferences and medical needs, including:
- Normal Delivery: Supporting natural childbirth with minimal interventions.
- Cesarean Delivery: Performing C-sections when medically necessary or preferred.
- Operative Delivery: Utilizing tools like forceps or vacuum devices to assist in delivery when required.
Our facilities are equipped with advanced technology to ensure a safe and comfortable birthing experience.
Midwifery Services: Personalized Maternity Care for a Natural Birth Experience
At North Carolina OBGYN and Midwifery, we believe in providing expectant mothers with holistic, patient-centered maternity care. Our certified nurse midwives (CNMs) offer a compassionate, evidence-based approach to pregnancy, labor, and postpartum care. Whether you desire a more natural birthing experience or need personalized guidance throughout your pregnancy, our midwifery services ensure you receive the best care for your unique journey.
What is Midwifery Care?
Midwifery care focuses on personalized, low-intervention pregnancy and childbirth support while ensuring medical safety and comprehensive maternal health services. Our midwives work closely with our obstetricians to provide a seamless blend of medical and holistic care, prioritizing your preferences and birth plan.
Benefits of Choosing a Midwife:
- Personalized Prenatal Care – Midwives take time to understand your needs, provide education, and support your physical and emotional well-being throughout pregnancy.
- Holistic Labor & Delivery Support – Midwives specialize in natural childbirth techniques, including water births, breathing techniques, and labor positioning to encourage a smooth delivery.
- Lower Intervention Rates – Patients under midwifery care often experience fewer medical interventions, including reduced cesarean sections and epidurals.
- Continuous Support – From pregnancy monitoring to postpartum care, midwives offer continuous guidance, ensuring you feel confident and supported every step of the way.
Midwifery & High-Risk Pregnancy
While midwives primarily assist with low-risk pregnancies, they collaborate closely with our obstetricians to provide additional medical support if needed. If complications arise, our comprehensive obstetric care team ensures that both mother and baby receive the appropriate interventions for a safe and healthy delivery.
Midwifery Birth Options
At North Carolina OBGYN and Midwifery, we support various birth experiences, including:
- Hospital Births with a Midwife – Enjoy the comfort of midwifery care while having immediate access to medical facilities.
- Water Births – A natural and gentle birthing option for expectant mothers looking for a calm, soothing delivery experience.
- Unmedicated & Low-Intervention Births – Midwives support natural childbirth while ensuring safety and comfort.
It’s important to note that while our providers prioritize each patient’s goals and envisions for their birthing plan, based on the individual factors of each patient’s pregnancy and overall health, a midwife assisted delivery outside of a medical facility may not be advised.
Postpartum Care
After childbirth, we continue to support you with comprehensive postpartum care. This includes monitoring your recovery, providing guidance on newborn care, and addressing any concerns you may have during this critical period.
Postpartum Contraceptive Services: Birth Control Options After Pregnancy
At North Carolina OBGYN and Midwifery, we provide comprehensive postpartum contraceptive services to help new mothers make informed decisions about birth control. The best time to start postpartum contraception depends on your health, breastfeeding status, and personal preferences. Some methods, such as IUDs and implants, can be placed immediately after delivery, while others may require a follow-up postpartum visit.
Our providers will discuss the best options for you based on your medical history and reproductive goals. Whether you are looking to space future pregnancies or prevent an unintended pregnancy, our team offers effective options tailored to:
- Supports maternal health and recovery after childbirth
- Helps prevent unintended pregnancies
- Ensures healthy birth spacing for future pregnancies
- Provides safe options compatible with breastfeeding
