What is pregnancy care?

Pregnancy care encompasses the medical attention, guidance, and emotional support you receive from conception through delivery and beyond. At MAA Women’s Health, Dr. Pagadala partners with you to monitor your baby’s growth and development, manage any symptoms or complications, and prepare you for a smooth labor and postpartum transition. 

Her goal is to ensure that every stage of pregnancy feels supported and informed, so you can approach childbirth with confidence and peace of mind. From your first positive test, pregnancy care focuses on maintaining your health, supporting fetal development, and ensuring that both you and your baby thrive throughout each trimester.

What can I expect during pregnancy care?

Your pregnancy journey typically includes:

• Confirmation visit: A blood test or ultrasound confirms your pregnancy and helps determine your due date.
• Routine prenatal visits: Regular check-ins allow Dr. Pagadala to monitor vital signs, measure fetal growth, and address any concerns.
• Screenings and tests: These may include ultrasounds, bloodwork, and screenings for genetic conditions, gestational diabetes, or anemia.
• Education and guidance: You’ll receive expert advice on nutrition, exercise, symptom management, labor preparation, and postpartum recovery.

As your pregnancy progresses, the frequency of visits increases to ensure your and your baby’s ongoing well-being.

How can I promote a healthy pregnancy?

Healthy lifestyle choices are essential during pregnancy. Dr. Pagadala recommends:

• Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins
• Taking prenatal vitamins with folic acid, calcium, and iron
• Staying active with gentle exercises such as walking or prenatal yoga
• Avoiding smoking, alcohol, and certain medications that could harm your baby

Getting adequate rest and attending all prenatal appointments are also key to a healthy outcome.

When should I see a doctor during pregnancy?

Schedule an appointment as soon as you suspect or confirm pregnancy. Early and consistent care allows for timely monitoring, early detection of concerns, and better preparation for delivery.

Dr. Pagadala and her team are here to provide compassionate, comprehensive pregnancy care that supports you through every milestone.
