MATERNITY WELLNESS PROGRAM

ARMS Maternity Wellness Center provides Obstetric medical prenatal care for women, every day, no matter of their age, race, or financial situation. Our Board-certified OB/GYN physician, Dr. Yocunda Clayton, and our professional staff look forward to providing quality prenatal care for you and your unborn baby.

The Maternity Wellness Center specializes in the care of pregnant women. During this time, you will receive education on lab tests that may be performed, the expected course of the pregnancy, anticipated schedule of visits, healthy practices, and the scope of care we will provide in our office. ARMS has a partnership with Princeton Baptist Medical Center where Dr. Yocunda Clayton will deliver your baby.

Preparing for a happy, healthy baby starts early, so we help you get ready for the big day. We want you to understand the different stages of pregnancy and how your body changes, as the baby grows to term. We want to do everything we can to help you to feel confident and comfortable through your pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
