Pregnancy Questions from Seattle Parents
When should I choose my Seattle hospital or birth center?
Most expecting parents tour hospitals and birthing centers during the second trimester (14-28 weeks). This gives you time to compare facilities, understand policies, and ensure your insurance covers your chosen location.
What prenatal tests are standard in Washington?
Washington providers typically offer first trimester screening (10-13 weeks), quad screen or cell-free DNA testing (15-20 weeks), anatomy ultrasound (18-22 weeks), and glucose screening (24-28 weeks). Discuss options with your OB or midwife.
How do I prepare for Seattle's rainy weather during pregnancy?
Invest in good waterproof boots with non-slip soles, wear layers for fluctuating temperatures, and consider a pregnancy-safe vitamin D supplement since Pacific Northwest weather limits sun exposure during fall and winter months.
