Scheduling appointments at the Family Birth Center of Naples
This might seem a little confusing, but we are here to help if you need guidance.
Some things to note:
The average mom should expect about 14 prenatal visits at the Family Birth Center.
On occasion, we will have to reschedule appointments because of a birth, illness, or emergency. Apologies in advance.
Regularly scheduled prenatal care is essential to documenting a low-risk pregnancy.
Failure to attend prenatal visits/classes may result in dismissal from care.
Please be sure to calculate your gestational age in weeks plus days (i.e.- 12+3).
You can find a Calculator and Calendar on BabyMed.
