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.
