Finding out you’re pregnant comes with a mix of emotions: excitement, questions, maybe even a little overwhelm. You’ve made the call to schedule your first appointment, now you’re wondering what comes next.
At Diana Health, we believe your care should be personal, thoughtful, and centered around you. We also believe it should make sense. If you’re planning to grow your family under the care of Diana Health, here’s what you can expect from your prenatal journey from your very first visit to delivery day.
First Appointment and First Trimester
Once you find out you’re expecting, patience can be hard to come by. That’s why we begin your prenatal care with a “New Pregnancy Virtual Consult”, so you can start care early, ask questions, and feel supported right away. Based on your care preferences, you will be paired with one of our expert providers from our team of experienced midwives and OB/GYN physicians.
This visit is all about getting to know you. We’ll talk through your health history, answer early pregnancy questions, and begin building a care plan that reflects your needs and preferences, together. You will also be assigned a Care Navigator, who is dedicated to checking in with you regularly and supporting you along your journey.
You’ll wrap up this appointment with a clearer understanding of what’s ahead, including:
- What appointments look like (and how many to expect)
- What testing may be recommended (and how to prepare)
- How to access support from us every step of the way
We’ll also schedule your first in-person appointment, typically between 8-10 weeks, with an ultrasound, so we can dive deeper into the specifics of your journey.
Prenatal Visits That Put You First
Prenatal care isn’t one-size-fits-all, and your visits shouldn’t feel rushed or transactional. Just like you, we care about this pregnancy deeply, and our goal is to ensure you feel supported and heard.
Throughout your pregnancy, you’ll have regular check-ins with your care team to monitor your health and your baby’s development. That includes:
- Routine ultrasounds, like your anatomy scan
- Screening tests, such as the glucose test
- Ongoing conversations about how you’re feeling, both physically and emotionally
We take time to explain what’s happening and why, so you feel informed and confident in your care. And if you want to go deeper on something, we’re always happy to go there with you.
Our collaborative care model (OBGYNs and certified nurse midwives working together) means longer visits and the ability to build deeper relationships with your provider(s). Also, most of your tests and scans are done in-office, so your care stays streamlined and all in one place.
Second and Third Trimester: Care That Supports Your Whole Experience
As you move into your second and third trimesters, your visits expand to focus on your full experience.
We’ll spend time discussing:
- Wellness goals
- Care preferences
- Birth preferences
You can log these in your Diana Health Client app, and we’ll revisit them throughout your care.
Because prenatal care goes beyond medical checklists, we’re here to support your physical health, your mental well-being, and your experience as a growing family.
Together, we’ll cover:
- Nutrition and movement guidance
- Mental health support and check-ins
- Education around labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery
- Space to talk through preferences, concerns, or fears
You’ll have access to these resources anytime, through the app or during your visits with your provider. Diana Health offers comprehensive care, so we naturally integrate these care types and providers, all in one place.
Preparing for Delivery, Your Way
As you enter your third trimester, we’ll spend more time preparing for delivery.
Together, we’ll talk through what matters most to you, including:
- Birth preferences
- In-room support preferences
- Your vision for your birth experience
While birth can be unpredictable, having a plan helps you feel grounded and empowered. At Diana Health, we work alongside you to build thoughtful, flexible birth plans so you feel ready for whatever your delivery may bring.
Diana Health works closely with our partner hospital staff to support a safe, personalized birth experience. A personalized birth plan, paired with the safety and resources of a hospital setting, allows us to provide comfortable and comprehensive care throughout your delivery.
Postpartum Care: Support Beyond the Delivery
Your postpartum care begins soon after you head home. Around 48 hours after birth, your Care Navigator will reach out by call or text to check in.
This time is focused on you:
- Processing your birth experience
- Talking through any challenges, fears, or overwhelm
- Making sure you feel supported
If you need additional support, our in-house, virtual mental health providers are available right away.
We also offer a 2-week virtual postpartum visit with your provider, giving you space to ask questions about your recovery, healing, feeding, or anything else on your mind. Whether this is your first delivery or your third, every postpartum experience is different, and we see this visit as a key part of supporting you through it.
We’re With You, Every Step of the Way
Pregnancy is a journey, and you deserve care that feels steady, supportive, and truly tailored to your needs.
From your first virtual appointment through delivery and beyond, Diana Health is here to help you feel informed, cared for, and confident in your experience.
