Well-Woman Exams

Our team is committed to your total health and well-being. Routine well-woman exams allow us to help in preventing cancers and other gynecological conditions. Early detection truly saves lives! It is recommended that women begin routine well-woman exams starting at 21 years of age.

Telehealth visits are a great option to meet with a Sam Rodgers provider from the comfort of your own home. However, not all medical needs can be addressed during a telehealth visit. We use a technology called Doxy.Me for our telehealth visits. Learn more about virtual visits here. 

Pre-and Postnatal Care

At every stage of pregnancy, we can help you prepare for the birth of your baby. It’s never too late to start Prenatal care. Our doctors are here to help.

Prenatal Care

Early and regular check-ups can promote a healthy birth. Here’s what to expect:

1st 6 months: You will have a check-up every 4 weeks to weigh you, take your blood pressure, listen to the baby’s heartbeat, and measure the growth of your baby.

8-12 weeks: At your first visit, you can expect an exam, lab work, a urine test, and a PAP test, if needed. You may be able to hear the baby’s heartbeat and find out your due date.

15-20 weeks: You will be offered a test that checks the spinal cord and genetic concerns. An ultrasound will be ordered to view the baby’s organs, measure growth, and get your baby’s first photo.

28 weeks: A glucose test to screen for diabetes will be ordered, along with lab work to check for infections or other conditions.

28-36 weeks: You will have a check-up every 2-3 weeks to record the growth of the baby, listen to the heartbeat, and check the position of the baby.

36-40 weeks: We will continue to monitor the pregnancy with weekly visits

Delivery

We work closely with area hospitals and help you choose where to deliver the baby. We can support you in preparing a plan and making sure you have everything you need for bringing the baby home – such as a car seat, a crib, and diapers.
