Prenatal Care in Miami, FL
Pregnancy is one of the most significant journeys of your life. Dr. Sidiq Aldabbagh, board-certified OBGYN, provides comprehensive prenatal care for expecting mothers in Miami — from your first positive test through delivery and postpartum recovery.
What Prenatal Care Includes
Prenatal care at Trusted Women's Health Center covers every stage of your pregnancy with thorough monitoring and compassionate support. Your visits will include regular physical examinations, blood pressure monitoring, fetal heart rate checks, and personalized guidance on nutrition, exercise, and labor preparation.
First Trimester (Weeks 1–13)
Your first prenatal visit establishes your due date, confirms the pregnancy with ultrasound, and begins a full baseline workup including blood type, CBC, thyroid function, STI screening, rubella immunity, and carrier screening. We discuss prenatal vitamins, dietary guidelines, and warning signs to watch for.
Second Trimester (Weeks 14–27)
The anatomy ultrasound at 18–22 weeks is a key milestone — checking fetal development, placental position, and confirming sex if desired. Genetic screening options (quad screen, cell-free fetal DNA/NIPT) are offered. Glucose tolerance testing for gestational diabetes occurs at 24–28 weeks.
Third Trimester (Weeks 28–40)
Visits become more frequent — every two weeks from week 28, then weekly from week 36. We monitor fetal position, growth via ultrasound, Group B strep screening, and begin discussing labor plans, birth preferences, and breastfeeding. Dr. Aldabbagh coordinates hospital admission and delivery care.
High-Risk Pregnancy Management
Dr. Aldabbagh specializes in managing high-risk pregnancies including gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, multiple gestations, advanced maternal age (35+), prior pregnancy loss, thyroid disorders, PCOS, and fibroids in pregnancy. Close monitoring and individualized care plans are provided throughout.
