Dr. La Follette is excited to be working alongside Baby Center to help mothers-to-be everywhere have a knowledge-filled and smooth pregnancy.
Finding out you’re expecting can be an exciting time, but with that excitement comes many other emotions like nervousness and anxiety, too. Don’t worry; it’s natural to experience a wide range of emotions.
During this partnership, Dr. La Follette will be producing videos to help new moms learn what to expect during pregnancy. As a skilled OB-GYN, she is breaking down all the critical topics you need to know.
In her first video, we start at the end, examining a birth: going through the physical and emotional moment of labor and delivery is a special moment that every mom has to look forward too. However, it can be daunting to think about. This video is a real-time experience about all the highs and lows, as well as a realistic look into what delivery looks like.
Expect your check-in to include a whole host of other check-ins regarding your contractions, dilation, effacement, and baby’s heart rate. Watch the rest of the video for a full rundown on the process.
If you’ve ever been curious about what goes down during an ultrasound (trust us, the movies really simplify it), Dr. La Follette spends another video walking a patient through the process. This video provides an in-depth look at this routine careful examination, where you are exposed to the health and development of the baby.
In the most recent video with Baby Center, Dr. La Follette performs a cesarian birth (C-section). While some modern mothers opt for a planned C-section, others are performed out of necessity. Regardless of where you stand on the issues, as an expectant mother, it’s important to be educated about the realm of possibilities. For a better idea of what to expect during this major surgery (because yes, it does qualify as surgery), take a look at Dr. La Follette helping a new mom through the experience.
As Dr. La Follette’s partnership with Baby Center continues to grow, expect more videos about every aspect of pregnancy. We’re so excited about your journey and happy to be here every step of the way. If you’re pregnant, trying, or want to learn more, give us a call: (415) 461-1949.
