Sam Rodgers Northland Clinic Expansion

February 1, 2020 By Sam Rodgers

Our Northland Prenatal and Pediatric clinic has grown into a larger space to serve more expectant mothers in the Northland! This expansion is in thanks to our ongoing partnership with North Kansas City Hospital.

This partnership allows Sam Rodgers providers to provide prenatal care for mom and baby until the final weeks of pregnancy. At that time, the clinic transfers the mother, along with her medical records, to a Meritas Health obstetrician, who will oversee her care and the baby’s delivery at North Kansas City Hospital. After the delivery, mother and baby will return to Samuel U. Rodgers for their postpartum and pediatric health needs.

If you’re pregnant it’s important to begin your prenatal care as soon as possible. Your doctor will check on your health as well as the development of your baby.

Tips for Prenatal Care

Take a multivitamin or prenatal vitamin with folic acid every day. Folic acid is most important in the early stages of pregnancy, but you should continue taking folic acid throughout pregnancy.
Ask your doctor before stopping any medicines or starting any new medicines. Some medicines are not safe during pregnancy. Keep in mind that even over-the-counter medicines and herbal products may cause side effects or other problems.
Get a flu shot. Pregnant women can get very sick from the flu and may need hospital care.
Eat a variety of healthy foods. Choose fruits, vegetables, whole grains, calcium-rich foods, and foods low in saturated fat. Also, make sure to drink plenty of fluids, especially water.
Gain a healthy amount of weight. Your doctor can tell you how much weight gain you should aim for during pregnancy.
Don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or use drugs. These can cause long-term harm or death to your baby. Ask your doctor for help quitting.
Unless your doctor tells you not to, try to get at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity a week.

The new facility is located in the same building but on the second floor at 5330 North Oak Trfy. Ste 203, Kansas City, MO 64118. To make an appointment please call 816.499.8100
