Page Content BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It is a number that shows body weight adjusted for height. BMI can be calculated with simple math using inches and pounds. All persons who are obese or overweight should try not to gain additional weight. In addition, those who are obese or who are overweight with other risk factors should consider losing weight. Whatever your BMI, talk to your Women’s Care of the Bluegrass provider to see if you are at an increased risk for disease and if you should lose weight. Even a small weight loss (just 10% of your current weight) may help to lower the risk of disease.

Immunizations
Infections Infections can be harmful to both the mother and the fetus. Some infections can cause serious birth defects or illness in the fetus. Some infections can be prevented by vaccination (examples: measles, mumps, rubella, polio, and tetanus). Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can also affect pregnancy. If you suspect that you may have a STD, see your doctor to be tested and treated.

Labor and Delivery
“I specifically chose to receive care at Women’s Care of the Bluegrass because of the great recommendations and feedback from friends and the extra care taken to ensure my desire for a natural approach to childbirth was met. Now having birthed two children and about to deliver my third, I’m more than pleased with all of the care I’ve received from each doctor and staff member. Everyone takes time to meet my specific needs and address my concerns. I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else for my care and the commute is well worth the excellent care provided.”
