Our obstetric providers at Catalyst Medical Group are renowned experts in the field of pregnancy and childbirth.
Expecting mothers require and deserve the highest level of compassion and care throughout their pregnancy and through delivery and recovery. At Catalyst Medical Group, our expert obstetric team is specialty-trained and experienced in comprehensive care and services for expecting mothers and developing babies for both low-risk and high-risk pregnancies. High-risk pregnancies include multiple pregnancies (twins and additional babies) as well as pregnancy-related hypertension, gestational diabetes, and other conditions.
Prenatal Care
Proper prenatal care is crucial for the health and well-being of both the mother and the baby. Our obstetric providers specialize in monitoring the progress of your pregnancy and offering essential guidance for a healthy gestation period. From routine screenings to personalized nutrition plans, we ensure that you receive the best possible care.
Labor & Delivery
When the time comes for delivery, our experienced obstetric team is dedicated to providing a supportive and comfortable environment at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Lewiston. We understand that every birth experience is unique, and our providers work closely with you to create a personalized birthing plan. Whether you opt for a natural birth, epidural, or cesarean section, our skilled professionals are there to ensure a safe delivery for both you and your baby.
Postpartum Care
The care doesn't end with delivery; our obstetric providers continue to support you during the postpartum period of six weeks after delivery. We offer postpartum check-ups, including monitoring for postpartum depression, as well as breastfeeding support and guidance on newborn care. Our team is here to address any concerns you may have, ensuring your health and wellness.
Ultrasounds
Ultrasounds in obstetrics are used to monitor fetal development, assess the health of the pregnancy, and detect any potential complications. These noninvasive imaging procedures provide valuable information to healthcare providers and expecting parents, allowing for timely interventions and ensuring the well-being of both the mother and the baby.
