Enjoying Your Pregnancy Guide to Understanding - Brigham and ...

Dear Mother-To-Be:
Congratulations on your pregnancy! With that exciting news, we are here to help
guide you safely through your pregnancy and birth. It will be a team effort, including
you, your partner, doctors, midwives, nurse practitioners and nurses. We also have
nutritionists and counselors available for extra information and support if you need
them. Together, we will care for your pregnancy to help ensure the best possible outcome
for both you and your baby.
At the Center for Women in Newborns in the Mary Horrigan Connors Center for
Women’s Health at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, we respect your high expectations
for clinically advanced care provided in a personal, comfortable environment. The
Center offers the most comprehensive range of state-of-the-art obstetrical services in the
country under one roof. Our physicians, midwives, nurse practitioners and nurses are
world-renowned, and we are committed to providing compassionate, individualized
care – birth by birth, family by family.
You will get a lot of advice in the coming weeks, but remember, each pregnancy is
different. When you hear what seems to be a good idea, jot it down and discuss it with
us at your next visit. Between your regular visits, we will also be available to answer
any questions you may have.
You can expect the very best professional and medical advice and high-quality care
throughout the coming months as we care for you and your baby. We look forward to
helping you during the exciting days ahead and again, welcome to Brigham and
Women’s Hospital.
Sincerely,
Robert L. Barbieri, MD
