Prenatal care is provided at
our center during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. For care during
the last trimester, Womankind refers to various physicians and hospitals
including Marymount Hospital, MetroHealth Medical Center, and University
Hospitals of Cleveland. Our medical staff also works to educate clients
on how to reduce the risk of birth defects. When necessary, referrals
are made for high-risk prenatal care.
Not only does Womankind provide a free
medical examination to confirm the client's pregnancy, our caring
medical personnel are also on hand to listen without judgment, explain
Womankind's services and offer continuing reassurance and support.
Our medical staff routinely screens for
hypertension, diabetes, sexually transmitted diseases, heart disease,
and early signs of cervical and breast cancer.
