We Are Here For You

Obstetrics

After you have a positive home pregnancy test, call our office to schedule your initial appointment. Your first OB appointment will be your interview appointment where you will meet with a nurse. During that visit, you will be asked to complete a genetic screening questionnaire which will help us evaluate your unborn baby. The nurse will go over all of our office policies and procedures, current pregnancy education, and they will get a thorough health history. We would like to see you for your first appointment between 8-9 weeks gestation to be sure that you are able to take advantage of the screening blood tests that are offered at The Group. Once you have decided to see either the Physicians or the Certified Nurse Midwives, we will make a follow up appointment with the provider about two weeks following the interview appointment. Follow up visits will be scheduled at four week intervals and every 1-2 weeks during the last stages of pregnancy.

VBAC

Brittany Piersanti was excited, yet nervous, about the birth of her second child. She delivered her first child via C-section and was unsure if she would be required to have a repeat C-section or if she would be a good candidate for a vaginal delivery. After careful consideration, Dr. Aronson determined that Brittany was a great candidate for a VBAC since it had been over one year since her first pregnancy. Brittany welcomed her son via successful vaginal delivery (VBAC) in August of 2019! 

The Group proudly supports VBACs and feels confident when determining if patients are good candidates. The Group also has a lot of support at Genesis for VBACs. An in-house anesthesiologist is on staff at all times. If you live in or around the Quad Cities and are curious if you are a good candidate for a VBAC, we recommend contacting our team of physicians and midwives at The Group!
