Congratulations on your pregnancy!

We at Colorado Obstetrics & Women's Health in Colorado Springs want to make your experience with us enjoyable and relaxing. We provide complete obstetrical and prenatal care for women in Colorado Springs, for both routine and high-risk pregnancies. During the coming months, prenatal care will require an obstetric ultrasound for an anatomical survey of your baby. Most insurance companies will allow one ultrasound over the course of the pregnancy. This ultrasound is usually performed at approximately 18 weeks gestation, and you will be provided with 2-3 "still" pictures. At your request, we can also verify the gender of your baby.

 

At Colorado Obstetrics & Women's Health, we are able to offer you obstetrical ultrasounds here in our Colorado Springs office. The ultrasounds are ordered by your provider, performed by a registered sonographer, and interpreted by your physician.
