Prenatal Care
At Pacifica Family Maternity Center, we prioritize personalized, comprehensive prenatal and birth care. Our approach allows ample time during visits for you to ask questions, build a relationship with our midwives, and receive evidence-based support tailored to your pregnancy journey.
Prenatal visits last approximately 1 hour each.
Midwives rotate prenatal appointments to ensure familiarity with you and your preferences well before the birth.
