Pregnancy and Maternity Care
When you say with nervous excitement, “It’s time!” we are here for you and your baby. MercyOne has the experts you trust to bring your baby into the world, so you can focus on that joyous moment ahead – holding your new baby!
Pregnancy Care
Your baby’s health care begins during pregnancy. MercyOne provides pregnancy education through YoMingo®, a resource to help you whenever, wherever you want. This education app provides tools and support throughout all the stages of your pregnancy through labor and delivery and beyond.
Throughout your pregnancy, you can see an obstetrician or midwife to ensure your baby is healthy and growing. Regular visits help providers find and treat any pregnancy complications that may arise including, but not limited to:
- Gestational diabetes.
- Infections.
- Iron deficiency anemia.
- Preeclampsia.
- Preterm labor.
MercyOne pregnancy care is conveniently available in Waterloo or Cedar Falls.
