OB Care at FCN
A trusted partner to care for you and your baby
When you choose a family physician for OB care, you get care before, during and after delivery with a doctor who knows you, your family, and your baby. Even better, the relationship you build with your doctor during pregnancy can continue with your child after birth. The same doctor you have come to know and trust can become your baby’s doctor, too.
A special type of OB care
Family physicians are residency-trained, board-certified specialists who provide sensitive, collaborative, and family-focused OB care – from conception to delivery and beyond. If care by another type of specialist is needed during your pregnancy, your family physician will make sure you receive proper consultation in a timely manner.
COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy
Getting vaccinated is the most important thing you can do to protect yourself and your baby against COVID. Pregnant women who become infected with COVID have increased risk for pregnancy and personal health complications. COVID vaccines are safe and effective and strongly recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, the CDC, and Family Care Network.
