The Year 2000 was a “record breaker” for MKMG’s Obstetrics & Gynecology Department. Of the four sets of triplets born last year at Northern Westchester Hospital Center, all four were delivered by MKMG Obstetrician & Gynecologist Dr. Scott Hayworth.
“Delivering four sets of triplets in one year was unique. It was a pleasure and an honor to play a role in all of those deliveries,” said Dr. Hayworth. “In general, multiple births are becoming more frequent at MKMG -- last year, our obstetricians also delivered many sets of twins. The rising use of fertility drugs has certainly increased the incidence of multiple births in recent years, but many are still conceived naturally.”
MKMG’s Obstetricians are specially qualified to handle a wide range of high risk cases, including: pregnancies after multiple miscarriages, premature deliveries, pre-term labor, toxemia or preeclampsia, cervical incompetence, and intra-uterine growth retardation. They also provide care for pregnant mothers with pre-existing medical conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and lupus.
“Our obstetricians are pleased to handle all types of pregnancies, whether normal or high risk cases,” said Dr. Hayworth. “While we can provide expert care for mothers with specific, high-risk concerns, our comprehensive range of obstetrical services was designed with all kinds of moms in mind.”
Dr. Hayworth emphasized that the obstetricians at MKMG are attentive not only to the medical needs of their patients, but also to their preferences during the birth experience. “We try very hard to accommodate each mother’s wishes,” he said. “When mom and baby are doing well, we are very liberal about what the mom can do during labor. She can walk around, relax in a whirlpool bath, and even eat.”
“Mothers also have choices about having epidural anesthesia or other pain relief,” Dr. Hayworth noted, “and we strive for all mothers to deliver vaginally, rather than by C-section, if possible.”
All patients are monitored closely, from conception through delivery, using the wide range of advanced imaging and diagnostic procedures available in MKMG’s offices. All babies are delivered at Northern Westchester Hospital Center, where three board-certified neonatologists can provide infant care for babies as small as two pounds.
“We are proud to offer a broad spectrum of diagnostic technology and services right here in the office,” said Dr. Hayworth.
“For busy moms-to-be, this convenience is much appreciated and an important benefit. Our patients also value the dedication and personal attention they receive from our physicians and our excellent team of nurses and medical assistants.”
Dr. Hayworth is the President and Chief Executive Officer at MKMG, as well as current Chairman of the American College of Obstetrics & Gynecology for the Hudson Valley. He was formerly President of the Westchester Obstetrical & Gynecological Society. |
