Family Birthing Center

From the moment you learn you are expecting, you’ll begin building a personalized plan for a healthy pregnancy.

Your OB/GYN will take time to get to know you, provide guidance on symptoms and help you understand what to expect throughout your pregnancy.

With OSF OnCall pregnancy and postpartum support, digital care is built directly into your care plan. You’ll get 24/7 virtual support, real-time guidance from a specially trained OB care team and even virtual check-ins that can replace some office visits. When needed, we’ll also provide at-home tools like blood pressure cuffs to help you stay on track.

Patients can enroll anytime during pregnancy, from as early as eight weeks through six weeks postpartum, making it easier to get support whenever you need it most.

As your pregnancy continues, you’ll experience a blend of in-person visits and convenient virtual care. With support from OSF OnCall, your care plan will likely include a mix of in-person visits for ultrasounds, labs and important pregnancy milestones, as well as routine check-ins that may be completed virtually when it’s appropriate for you.

This approach helps save time and reduce unnecessary trips to the office while providing real-time support for your symptoms or concerns 24/7.

When it’s time to deliver, you’ll be surrounded by a highly trained team and advanced technology focused on your safety and comfort.
