New Mothers
Congratulations on our new pregnancy! This is an exciting time in your life, and the health of you and your baby is our top priority.
During your initial visits to our clinic we will review your health history, perform a detailed physical exam, including Pap smear if indicated, and review pregnancy information. You will have screening blood tests and we will discuss further routine and optional screening for your pregnancy.
You will have several scheduled appointments with Spokane OBGYN through out your pregnancy. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

What to Expect
In the first month of pregnancy your baby is about a quarter inch long and weighs less than one ounce.
By about week 6, baby starts to sprout arms, legs, hands and feet. Hair, skin and nails develop between 5 and 8 weeks. By 14 weeks your baby is about 3.5inches long and weighs little more than one ounce with all major organs developed.

Our ultrasounds are performed by a licensed sonographer, and read by a physician with special training in Ultrasonography.
