Maternal Newborn Clinic

The Camrose PCN Maternal Newborn Clinic houses a weekly prenatal and postnatal clinic with a multidisciplinary team of PCN family physicians and healthcare providers caring for you and your baby before and after your pregnancy. 

The Maternal Newborn Clinic sees an estimated 275 patients each year!

What can you expect from the Prenatal Clinic?

• Once your pregnancy has been confirmed, your family doctor will set up regular appointments to see you through the initial stages of your pregnancy.
• At about the 20th week of your pregnancy, your family doctor will refer you to the Prenatal Clinic held every Friday morning. 
• As your big day approaches, the doctor at the Prenatal Clinic will need to see you more frequently to check on how things are going. They will see you:  Once per month during weeks 20 to 30; every two weeks during weeks 30 to 36; and every week from week 36 until you deliver.

What can you expect from the Postnatal Clinic?

• A scheduled appointment post delivery for a one week check up for you and your baby at the Postnatal Clinic held every Wednesday morning.
• Scheduled follow up appointments and community referrals as needed.  You may also wish to drop in during weeks 2 through 5 of the postpartum period with your baby.
• A scheduled follow up with your family physician at 6 weeks postpartum and as determined by you and the multidisciplinary team during your visits to the Postnatal Clinic.

Information, resources and referrals to community providers to assist you through your pregnancy will be provided during your visits to the prenatal and postnatal clinic.
