Obstetrics
Welcome to our OB prenatal care! We care about you.
How can you have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby?
-
 Get
prenatal care as early in your pregnancy as you can. Early care
is a great investment in your health and your new baby’s
health.
- Keep your appointments and go for recommended lab tests and
ultrasounds. All the blood tests, ultrasounds, and appointments
can seem overwhelming but are necessary to insure that you stay
healthy as well as have a healthy baby.
- Come for well-baby visits once your child is born. Immunizations
and developmental checks help ensure a good health start for your
child.
Obstetric services are provided by Austin's staff of physicians
and nurse midwives. The program is headed by Julene Murage, MD,
who has extensive experience in the care of pregnant women. The
department also has two experienced nurse midwives whose focus is
to keep mother and baby healthy. All deliveries are performed at
Capital Health System.
