At your pregnancy confirmation appointment, we will collect a urine specimen for pregnancy testing, take your vitals (weight and blood pressure), and perform an in-office transvaginal ultrasound. After confirming your pregnancy, we will review our office policies related to care during your pregnancy. You will receive a maternity handbook specially prepared for Hill Country OB/GYN obstetrical patients

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

The glucose tolerance test is performed between the twenty-fourth and twenty-eighth week of your pregnancy and is used to test for gestational diabetes, a high blood sugar condition that affects some women during pregnancy. The test is performed in the morning, after an eight-hour fast. During the test, three blood sugar measurements are taken over a two-hour period.

Six times a year, Hill Country OB/GYN Associates hosts a Zoom meeting to “Meet the Docs.”

If you’ve previously had a cesarean delivery and want to have more children, VBAC may help you avoid problems that have been linked to multiple cesarean deliveries, including hysterectomy and bowel or bladder injury. Benefits of VBAC include no abdominal surgery, a shorter recovery period, lower risk of infection, and less blood loss. Talk with your doctor to see if you are a candidate and to develop a personalized plan of care for your delivery.

Hill Country Parent Education offers childbirth, infant care, and breastfeeding classes to patients of Hill Country OB/GYN once per month.

In Intrauterine Insemination, a large amount of “washed” and concentrated, healthy semen is placed in the uterus near the beginning of the ovulation period. Before the procedure, Clomid (clomiphene citrate), a fertility medication, is sometimes used to induce ovulation. The IUI is an in-office procedure and takes approximately twenty minutes to complete. In some cases, your doctor may wish to perform a follicle scan prior to the IUI in order to measure and track your ovulatory pattern.
