Booking Prenatal Care Appointments
If you have completed a home pregnancy test and have confirmation that you are pregnant, you can call us at 905-472-2200 to book an appointment with your physician. Your doctor will ask you for a urine sample and may suggest blood work be taken. You will then schedule your first prenatal visit at Health for All.
Markham Stouffville Hospital is a wonderful facility to deliver your baby. You can register with the hospital when you are 20 weeks pregnant. For more information, visit The Stollery Family Centre for Childbirth & Children.
Once you have delivered your newborn, we would be happy to care for your child at regularly scheduled Well Baby visits. Well Baby visits are scheduled regularly during the first two years of your child’s life due to the rapid growth and change that occurs during infancy. During each visit your physician monitors, advises, and answers questions on the baby’s growth and development.
