Soundcare Medical Centre

Congratulations on your pregnancy. We are happy that you have
chosen the Sound Care Medical Centre to help you on this exciting
journey. In an effort to increase the early access to complete
obstetrical care for our patients, the Sound Care Medical team is
implementing an innovative collaborative obstetrical care model.
Our team approach is the key to the success of this new model of care.
This team includes a medical assistant, a senior obstetrical nurse who
has over 20 years experience in Labor and Delivery and an Obstetrician.
The medical assistant will greet you, and show you to your exam room
where she will take your weight, blood pressure and dip your urine
sample, first morning specimen preferably.
The Obstetrical
nurse will then meet with you to gather important medical information
including your medical history, past obstetrical history and family
history. She will be available to answer your questions and concerns.
She will perform your examination including the measurement of your
belly, after 20 weeks, assessment of your baby’s position and listening
to your baby’s heart rate usually first heard after 12 weeks. The
Obstetrical nurse will also be conducting vaginal examinations when
deemed appropriate, including a Pap test if this has not been performed
in the last year and screening for different infections may also be done
if appropriate. Later in the pregnancy, the nurse may check your cervix
to assess for dilation and offer methods to help facilitate the start
of labor.
As part of your first visit if done prior to 14
weeks, the nurse will discuss prenatal screening for genetic problems,
also known as IPS screening, as well as investigations and follow-up
that will be carried out during your pregnancy. These include:
- Dating Ultrasound if dates are unsure
- Morphology Ultrasound 18-20 weeks to assess the anatomy of your baby
- Growth Ultrasound, at any time if concerns are raised regarding the growth of your baby
- Bloodwork:
- At first visit includes your blood type, haemoglobin level (iron), rubella, hepatitis B, syphilis and HIV status.
- Between 24-28 weeks: glucose testing for diabetes of pregnancy.
- 35-37 weeks: GBS testing via recto-vaginal culture, to assess presence of bacteria.
The Obstetrician will then meet with you to review the pertinent information, and answer any further questions you might have.
You will be seen monthly until you have reached 28 weeks. From 28-36
weeks you will have by-weekly appointments and weekly visits thereafter
until you deliver.
Subsequent visits will be conducted by the
senior Obstetrical nurse and will include a physical examination. The
nurse will be reviewing your test results and inform you of any
additional testing required. She will be available to answer any
questions related to your pregnancy and delivery. Your Obstetrician
would like to see you at milestone visits.
Your schedule will
be as follows; first visit, 20, 32, 37 and 40 weeks. All other visits
will be conducted by the nurse ONLY, unless a particular problem is
identified by the nurse. The Obstetrician will always be available at
the time of your visit.
Following the delivery of your baby, we
would like to see you back 4-6 weeks later for your post partum visit
to discuss any problems and offer contraceptive advise. If problems were
to be encountered prior to that visit, feel free to contact us for an
earlier appointment.
Once again Congratulations and Good Luck!
