The results are positive. You're pregnant. Now what? Time to schedule an appointment with women's health at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Your first in-person appointment will happen when you are between six and ten weeks pregnant. Before we see you, you can expect a phone call from a nurse to go over your health history. At your first appointment, we will discuss many things including routine blood work you may choose to have like screening for genetic diseases. Your care team includes physicians, residents and midwives, as well as nurses and techs. Everyone is here to take care of you and your baby. Initially, you will have appointments about once a month, and as you get closer to your due date, these appointments will become more frequent. At any time, if you have a problem, you can call us day or night. We will let you know if you should see us in the office, go to the emergency department, or go to labor and delivery. Every step of the way, we are here to support you. The University of Maryland Medical System, a better state of care.
