Pregnancy Guide to Lake Country

/ Guides, Parenting and More / 0 Comments

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Preparing to welcome a baby and entering the season of parenthood while taking care of yourself can be overwhelming. We are here to help! Here’s a guide to navigate and access the various services Lake Country has to offer. And because everyone just can’t help but offer their advice during this time and through the 4th trimester, we recommend reading this post about setting moms of newborns up for success.

Find a pediatrician in your neighborhood!

The choice matters.

At Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, we believe a pediatrician’s job is more than just vaccines, prescriptions, physicals and sick visits. As your child’s primary care doctor, we see it as our duty to take full responsibility for their health and well-being – no matter what their health needs are or how many doctors they see. It’s an approach to primary care that puts your child at the center of it all.

Learn more about our nationally-recognized approach to primary care and what it can do for your child.

Our pediatricians and primary care offices offer parents a level of care that cannot be obtained at other places:

    • Affiliation with one of the top children’s hospitals in the country
    • Board-certified pediatricians
    • Commitment to population health and an increased role for pediatricians in the care of children
    • Doctors who are very active in their local communities
  • Access to many health and wellness programs designed to keep kids safe and healthy

Hospital Classes

Each hospital offers a variety of different classes including labor and delivery, breastfeeding, newborn care, hospital tours, plus more! Check out the links below to view and search class listings.

The guide consists of 3 days per week of flexibility, pelvic floor, and strength training sections along with 2 days of suggested cardio.”
