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.
What is Primary Care? Primary care is the routine (regular) health care your child gets from a doctor or nurse. The goal of primary care is to keep your child as healthy as possible. This is done by preventing health problems or by treating them right away. There is a recommended schedule for regular check-ups and immunizations. You and your child's primary care provider (PCP) may decide that more frequent visits are a good idea for your child.
