Comprehensive Prenatal Care

A healthy pregnancy starts with expert prenatal care. Experienced obstetricians, certified nurse-midwives and medical staff help guide you through pregnancy. We provide preconception guidance, comprehensive prenatal check-ups during each trimester and any tests you and your baby may need, such as amniocentesis (amniotic fluid testing), chorionic villus sampling (CVS) and much more.

If you encounter challenges during your pregnancy, our maternal fetal specialists provide advanced care and the latest in diagnostic tests and imaging.

To help support your mental health and well-being during pregnancy, many of our locations offer holistic services including prenatal yoga classes, massage and nutrition counseling as well as childbirth and breastfeeding classes.

Genetics Research

Sutter Health Genetics Research
Genetics studies the genes and DNA coding that each person inherits from their parents and how these genes can lead to disease or better health. Some inherited genes cause diseases such as Tay-Sachs or sickle cell anemia, while mutations in genes can cause genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome. However, doctors also use genetics to understand which treatments may work best for an individual.
