Yesterday on WBFF FOX 45, Dr. Olawunmi Kilo of Ascension Saint Agnes OB/GYN Columbia shared an important message for expecting mothers: early prenatal care matters.

The first trimester is a critical time for your baby’s development and for identifying any potential health concerns early. Seeking care as soon as you know you’re pregnant helps ensure the healthiest possible start for both mom and baby.

At Ascension Saint Agnes, our compassionate OB/GYN team is here to support you every step of the way, from your first appointment through delivery and beyond.

If you’re expecting, don’t wait. Schedule your visit today and let us partner with you for a healthy pregnancy journey. 💜
