Care During Pregnancy 

For many patients, pregnancy is a highly anticipated and exciting phase of life, but it also is a major life TRANSITION and we want to offer you an opportunity to discuss how you are doing emotionally, educate and screen for postpartum depression and to help with issues related to parenting, relationships, intimacy, body image and changes in work, finances, and identity.  We want to ensure you and your baby have the best start, and we are here to support you during your pregnancy along with your maternity care providers.

We offer comprehensive support and services for newborns and moms starting during your pregnancy. We will work with your maternity care provider during the pregnancy and just after the birth to establish a seamless transition of care. We encourage you to schedule your baby's first visit during the third trimester so we can answer questions about feeding, common baby concerns, in home support following the birth, and lactation services. All of our pregnant moms are referred to Chaia Wolf, LICSW, for emotional support during this time.
