Dr. Eunice ZavalaPregnancy is a unique stage where the wellbeing of mother and baby comes first. I provide close, evidence-based follow-up designed to answer every question, trimester by trimester.
Book a prenatal consultationWhat does a full prenatal check include?
Each visit is structured to monitor the pregnancy's progress, prevent complications and educate you on physical changes, nutrition and warning signs. My protocol includes:
- Detailed obstetric history and pre-pregnancy background.
- Physical exam, vital signs and trimester-by-trimester weight tracking.
- Fetal heart rate auscultation and uterine fundus measurement.
- Prenatal lab work and screening test ordering and interpretation.
- Obstetric ultrasound to confirm viability, growth and fetal wellbeing.
- Nutritional guidance, supplementation and a personalized follow-up plan.
Visit frequency adapts to your trimester and clinical condition, becoming more frequent as the due date approaches.
When can the embryo be detected by ultrasound?
The gestational sac is usually visible from week 5 via transvaginal ultrasound, while the heartbeat is typically confirmed between weeks 6 and 7. Each case is reviewed individually, considering history and last menstrual period.
Most common prenatal questions
Ideally as soon as pregnancy is confirmed — or even better, with a pre-pregnancy consultation to optimize your health beforehand. An early first visit allows us to detect risk factors and plan follow-up.
I request a CBC, blood chemistry, thyroid panel, blood type and Rh, urinalysis, infection serologies (HIV, syphilis, hepatitis), urine culture and any complementary studies needed. We also schedule an initial ultrasound.
The standard schedule is monthly until week 28, every two weeks from week 28 to 36, and weekly from week 36 to delivery. If risk factors are present, we tighten the schedule for closer follow-up.
