Prenatal Care
Hillsboro Medical Center Women’s Health Clinic is here to support you throughout every step of your pregnancy.
As a part of our prenatal care, we offer:
- Prenatal visits
- Counseling and education before, during and after pregnancy
- Options to manage pain throughout pregnancy
- Treatment for depression, anxiety and other mental health issues
Team-based care
Our experienced obstetrician-gynecologists (OB-GYNs) and certified nurse-midwives work collaboratively as a team to provide you with prenatal care tailored to you and your baby’s needs.
During your pregnancy, you’ll work closely with a team of midwives and OB-GYNs for your prenatal care.
At the time of your delivery, know that there is always a midwife and obstetrician available 24/7 at Hillsboro Medical Center. A midwife or obstetrician who is new to you may be on duty when it’s time to have your baby.
Every provider is a part of your care team and is committed to ensuring that you are at the heart of the decision-making process during labor, delivery and post-partum.
Appointment schedule
Call us as soon as you find out that you are pregnant to make your first appointment.
From your initial prenatal care visit, you will then typically see us:
- Every four weeks until 28 weeks of pregnancy
- Every two weeks from 28-36 weeks
- Every one week from 36 weeks until birth
- About two and six weeks after delivery
Please arrive to your appointment 10-15 minutes early.
Support services
We offer a variety of support services and education before and after your baby arrives, including:
We provide a range of birthing and parenting education classes and resources to help you welcome your new baby into the world.
Genetic counseling and pre-natal testing are provided in collaboration with OHSU Maternal Fetal Medicine (Perinatology).
Regular ultrasounds throughout your pregnancy help us detect any problems early.
Your first ultrasound may be completed at our clinic if you are less than 14 weeks pregnant.
Your anatomy ultrasound and follow-up ultrasound will conveniently take place right down the hall from our clinic at OHSU Maternal Fetal Medicine (364 SE 8th Ave. #201A). Call 503-418-4200 to make an appointment.
OHSU maternal fetal medicine doctors specialize in high-risk pregnancies at Hillsboro Medical Center. They monitor and support pregnant individuals with heart conditions, diabetes, high blood pressure and other health concerns.
Our team can help to initiate treatment for mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety. We can also help you find a therapist in the community and offer referrals to perinatal psychiatry at OHSU.
At this tour, you’ll learn when to arrive, where to park, and will be able to see the birthing suites and other facilities.
