What happens during OB/GYN appointments?

The Lorven Heart and Vascular Institute, LLC, experts weigh you before an OB/GYN exam. They also evaluate your blood pressure and pulse, and discuss your medical history. 

Your provider then completes a physical exam. They listen to you or your baby’s heartbeat, measure your abdomen if you’re pregnant, complete lab tests or imaging procedures as needed, and address any questions or concerns you have about your or your unborn baby’s well-being. Your specialist also provides treatment recommendations whenever necessary. 

How often do I need OB/GYN visits?

Schedule an OB/GYN appointment at Lorven Heart and Vascular Institute, LLC, yearly if you’re not pregnant or nursing or anytime you develop new or unusual symptoms of a women’s health concern.

If you’re pregnant, your specialist often recommends seeing them monthly during the first part of your pregnancy and more often when you approach your due date. However, you might need more frequent visits if your pregnancy is classified as high-risk or you experience unusual symptoms while pregnant.
