Six to seven percent of pregnancies are complicated by the development of pregnancy-related (gestational) diabetes. This condition has consequences for both mother and baby including: large babies, a risk of the baby needing IV support after delivery, and increased chance that the birth-parent will develop diabetes later in life.
MaineHealth Obstetrics and Gynecology offers expert care for both gestational diabetes and people who already have diabetes and become pregnant. Services include physician care, nutrition counseling, and diabetes education in one convenient appointment.
Group pregnancy visits are facilitated by a certified nurse midwife and a nurse. During a group pregnancy visit, you will be seen with several other pregnant people whose due dates are close to yours. The groups form around 16 weeks of pregnancy and last for 10 sessions.
At each visit, you will have a private examination with your health care provider. Then you’ll have refreshments and meet as a group to discuss questions, concerns, and solutions. Each pregnant person is encouraged to bring their partner or another support person.
Being able to meet together with the same group of expectant parents allows for continued sharing and development of a support network, which often extends well into the child rearing period.

Maintaining good oral health during pregnancy is important because it can decrease your child’s chances of future dental problems. That's why all of our patients receive an oral health screening and assessment at their first prenatal visit. Patients needing dental services are referred to a local dentist.
