Pregnancy Care

Choosing a physician to deliver your baby is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your birth experience and your family’s ongoing healthcare. Your OB physician will walk with you through life’s most meaningful moments, from your first prenatal visit to welcoming your baby into the world — and beyond as your child grows.

Whether you’re preparing for your first child or expanding your family, our experienced and caring OB doctors are here to ensure your journey is safe, supportive, and unforgettable. 

Congratulations!

Congratulations on this incredible journey! Welcoming a new life is one of the most joyful and transformative experiences, and we are truly excited to support you and your family. We’re incredibly honored to be part of this season with you.

“Life” is at the heart of Sioux Center Health’s mission. Our purpose is to bring hope, health, and healing to life — caring for mothers nurturing new life is truly at the core of who we are. Our OB services are trusted and award-winning for so many reasons.

During your prenatal care journey, we emphasize your whole-person well-being as a mother. From your first visit to your birth experience, we’re here to support every aspect of your health — mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. Together, we’ll create a personalized care plan that helps you feel confident, cared for, and connected.

OB Physicians

Choosing an OB physician is one of the most meaningful decisions you'll make during your pregnancy. Our obstetric physicians are more than just medical professionals — they are compassionate, knowledgeable partners in your journey to parenthood. In fact, your physician will be the very first person to hold your baby — a moment as significant as the care that leads up to it.

We encourage you to call our clinic as soon as possible after you find out you are pregnant. One of our team members will reach out to you to answer questions and schedule a time to see one of our providers as early as eight weeks into your pregnancy. This early visit helps get your pregnancy off to the best possible start, with a review of your health history, helpful resources, and possibly your first glimpse of baby!

Prenatal Appointment Schedule
Regular prenatal visits are key to monitoring your health and your baby’s development. A typical schedule includes:

  • Every 4 weeks through the 28th week
  • Every 2 weeks from the 29th to the 36th week
  • Weekly from the 37th week until delivery

If your pregnancy is considered high-risk, or if you have a pre-existing health condition like diabetes, your doctor may recommend more frequent visits to ensure the best outcomes for you and your baby.

Choosing an OB physician you trust makes all the difference. View our full OB team below and call (712) 722-2609 to schedule your first appointment.
