    “During my pregnancy, my LVPG Obstetrics and Gynecology care team always made me feel welcomed, cared for and celebrated.”

    Though Ty already had one child, it still felt like a new experience the second time around. But she had a great motherhood partner for her pregnancy journey – LVPG Obstetrics and Gynecology–West Broad. Her obstetrician and care team helped her feel confident in her skills as a mother, and respected Ty’s and her husband’s wish to not know if they were having a boy or a girl. Through their special care and attention, Ty had a healthy pregnancy. Then she and her husband were overjoyed to meet their daughter, Sparrow, on her birth day. Watch’s Ty’s video and see joy in motherhood.
