The first stage of breastmilk is colostrum, a very nutrient-dense milk. Then you will produce transitional milk as your volume starts to increase - this happens for different women at different times depending on the type of delivery you have. Then your milk will eventually mature and regulate. As your baby grows, your milk changes to meet the needs of your baby!
Here's what to expect during the first stages of labor so you know when to head over to see us at the birth center. Then once you transition to the birth center around 10 cm, you will begin the pushing stage.
What does a well-woman appointment include? We check your health history, order any tests and lab work that need to be updated to check on you. We manage a wide variety of primary care aspects of women's health for anyone from puberty through menopause, and we also do preconception counseling!
What is Informed Consent? Informed consent is at the core of our job. You have a say in your care, and you should have all of the information you need before making a decision regarding your healthcare. It is important we give you those choices to make the best decision for you!
