Quality Care Before, During and After Pregnancy
VNA Health Care offers complete pregnancy care. We help you stay healthy before pregnancy, during your prenatal visits, and after your baby arrives. We provide all the checkups, support, and guidance you and your baby need during this important time.
Care During Pregnancy
For comprehensive prenatal care, you have to visit your chosen healthcare provider for regular checkups throughout your pregnancy. At your first prenatal visit, the doctor or nurse practitioner will conduct a physical exam, check your weight, and take urine samples to make sure everything is on track.
In the later stages of your pregnancy, they may conduct additional services, including blood tests and ultrasound scans, to check the mother’s and baby’s health.
Delivery
When it’s time, your baby will be delivered by your VNA provider at Rush-Copley Medical Center in Aurora, Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin, AMITA Health Adventist Medical Center Bolingbrook, or AMITA Health St. Joseph Medical Center Joliet. VNA also now offers Doula Services.
The VNA hospital liaisons will visit you during your stay in the hospital to assist in coordinating your follow-up care at your nearest VNA Health Center. VNA offers TOLAC (Trial of Labor after Cesarean) and VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) services which you may consider after consultation with your obstetrician.
Care After Birth
Postpartum care is an important part of your health after delivery. You should connect with your provider within the first three weeks and return for a full checkup within 12 weeks. During this visit, your provider will check your physical recovery, emotional health, sleep, fatigue, and discuss birth control, infant care, and feeding. It’s also a good time to ask questions and share any concerns as you adjust to life with your new baby.
Paying for Pregnancy Care
At VNA Health Care, cost should never be a barrier to getting the care you and your baby need. We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicaid, which covers pregnancy care for many low-income women in Illinois. If you are uninsured or unsure about your coverage, our Benefits Assistance team can help you understand your options and apply for programs you may qualify for.
If you do not have insurance, VNA offers a sliding fee scale based on your household income and family size, so you only pay what you can afford. No patient is turned away due to inability to pay.
Community Resources and Financial Assistance
Illinois Moms & Babies is a program that pays for medical care for pregnant women and their babies. If you join the program, it will pay for your doctor visits and hospital stays while you are pregnant, including the time when you give birth. It will also keep paying for your medical care for one full year after your baby is born. For your baby, the program pays for their regular checkups, shots, and other health care during their first year. Coverage for the baby is included if the mother is covered by Moms & Babies when the baby is born.
VNA can also help you navigate financial assistance, connect you with community resources, and make sure you have the support you need throughout your pregnancy and beyond (including Healthy Families and WIC program participation for qualifying families).
