Q Prenatal Care in Minneapolis WHAT IS PRENATAL CARE?

Prenatal Care in Minneapolis

Regular visits to check on you and your baby during your pregnancy with a healthcare provider. At Roots, you
can expect to see your midwife monthly during your pregnancy for a prenatal visit until approximately 36 weeks
gestation at which time you will come more frequently until your baby is born.

Q WHAT HAPPENS DURING A PRENATAL CARE OFFICE VISIT?



During your visit you can expect to have a few basic checks done on you and your baby that include blood
pressure monitoring, listening to your baby's heart rate, and measuring your baby's growth. Some visits include
other tests or diagnostics that are appropriate for that stage of your pregnancy. Each visit is unique and we add in
educational pieces and spend plenty of time to make sure you get all your questions answered.

Q WHY IS PRENATAL CARE IMPORTANT?



Getting regular prenatal care helps to identify if you and baby are healthy and thriving. According to the World
Health Organization (WHO) clients should receive a minimum of 8 prenatal visits during their pregnancies,
because this has been shown to better detect potential pregnancy complications as they develop (WHO, 2016)

Q WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PRENATAL CARE?



Regular prenatal care has been shown to reduce the risk of complications in pregnancy for both the birthing
person and the baby. At Roots, prenatal care isn't just about checking a box to get diagnostics on you and baby,
it's also a time for you and your birth support to ask questions, share your stresses and your joys, and get better
connected to our team of midwives.
