If you've had a baby before, you'll know the tell-tale signs, and may notice your baby moving around as early as 16 weeks (RCOG 2011) . Either way, if you haven't felt any movement from your baby by 24 weeks, see your midwife. She'll listen for your baby's heartbeat and arrange an ultrasound scan or other checks if theyâre needed. Ultrasound scans have given us incredible insight into what kinds of movements babies can make and when.
Direct primary care (DPC) is a subset model of the retainer-based practice framework for primary care practices. There is not a single DPC practice model; rather the model represents a broad array of practice arrangements that share a common set of characteristics.
Medical Definition of Primary care Primary care: A patient's main source for regular medical care, ideally providing continuity and integration of health care services. All family physicians, and many pediatricians and internists, practice primary care. The aims of primary care are to provide the patient with a broad spectrum of preventive and curative care over a period of time and to coordinate all the care that the patient receives.
