Special Care During Pregnancy

Sparrow offers prenatal care for women with normal and high-risk pregnancies. The OB/GYN Women's Center provides routine care for pregnant women and new mothers. If there are problems that make a pregnancy high-risk, the Perinatal Center can offer specialized care. The special services available include pre-pregnancy counseling, genetic counseling, amniocentesis, extensive ultrasound, diabetes management and high-risk pregnancy care.

Most births occur without complications, but if hospitalization is necessary in the antepartum period, Sparrow is well known for its Obstetric Services Special Care Unit. Women with high-risk pregnancies are treated according to individualized plans to achieve the best possible outcomes for themselves and their infants. Click here for the OB Special Care tour.

The Expectant Parents Organization offers classes on basic birth preparation, breastfeeding, care of your newborn and other topics. You can attend individual or group classes to help you prepare for the birth of your new baby.
