Your first appointment, in person or by telehealth, begins with a consultation with our medical team. We review your health history, perform an exam focused on your symptoms, and offer any needed tests or treatments such as bloodwork, ultrasound, or IV therapy. If you are experiencing nausea and vomiting, we assess severity using the HELP Score developed by the HER Foundation and create a care plan for you. We can start interventions as early as the fourth week, following ACOG guidelines.
Your insurance card, a valid ID, any relevant medical records, and a list of the medications you are taking.
No. You do not need a referral to be seen at Materna.

From your first positive test. We can begin care as early as week four of pregnancy, and we see women through the end of pregnancy and into the postpartum period.
The best way to tell the difference is to take the HELP Score. Morning sickness includes nausea with or without vomiting and mild dehydration, can be managed at home, and is usually limited to the first trimester. Hyperemesis gravidarum is more severe and requires medical care. It does not always involve vomiting; severe nausea alone can be HG. Weight loss is not required for the diagnosis. HG can last throughout pregnancy.
Iron deficiency anemia can be caused by a simple increase in blood volume, but it can have other causes as well: naturally low iron levels, multiple pregnancies spaced closely together, morning sickness or severe morning sickness such as hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), and low iron intake from diet.
Early signs of anemia to watch for include fatigue, shortness of breath even with mild activity, lightheadedness or dizziness, paleness, cold feet and hands, rapid heartbeat or heart palpitations, and headaches.
Ultrasound and lab results are sent by 3 PM EST whenever possible. We understand how critical same day data is during stimulation cycles.
Yes. We send results directly to your clinic and follow the monitoring instructions outlined in your protocol. We work around your clinic's workflow, not the other way around.
Yes. We regularly support patients traveling to New York, including fertility patients cycling from across the U.S. and around the world. Our team is experienced in coordinating with clinics across time zones.
A concierge OB/GYN practice offers direct access, longer visits, and same-day availability, outside the constraints of a traditional insurance-driven office. Materna is a new concept OB/GYN built for the in-between weeks of women's health: fertility, early pregnancy, first trimester symptom relief, and postpartum recovery.
No. Materna works alongside your OB, every step. We care for the in-between: the weeks before your first OB visit, the symptoms that cannot wait, and the recovery that continues after six weeks. Your OB stays your OB.
