Whether you are expecting your first baby, or adding to your growing family, it is a long journey filled with surprises and miracles. Our physicians are always available to answer your questions or address your concerns. Currently the obstetrics team is made up of five highly skilled and dedicated physicians. It is recommended that you make an appointment with each of our doctors throughout your pregnancy so you get to know each other.
Pregnancy, itself, is not a high-risk condition. It is a normal part of reproductive life.
Most pregnancies have a healthy, happy outcome. Some pregnancies however are complicated by problems with the mother’s health, the health of the fetus (baby) or complications unique to pregnancy. These pregnancies are at “high-risk” for developing problems and having a poor outcome. High risk complications of pregnancy occur in only about 6 to 8 percent of all pregnancies. However, these complications result in 70 to 80 percent of the mortality and morbidity (illness) related to pregnancy for the mother and/or the child. Therefore, special care is needed to assure the best possible outcome for both.
Please keep in mind most high risk pregnancies have a good outcome! Women can improve their chances for a healthy outcome by seeking early care, even prior to becoming pregnant, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
The physicians at Long Island Women’s Health Care Group have delivered more than 5,000 healthy babies over the last 25 years. You can be assured of personal attention from our physicians and staff at all times during your pregnancy.
