Complete physical exam for your newborn?
At IREGCI, we share that obsession with detail. Once the urgency of birth has passed (and the Apgar score), we perform the Detailed Physical Examination. It’s a meticulous, centimeter-by-centimeter check, usually done within the first 24 hours of life.
It’s not just a routine checkup; it’s the guarantee that your baby is ready to go home with you. Here’s a look at the medical tour we give your little one.
The pediatrician will listen to the baby’s chest for a while.
We palpated her tummy to rule out any masses or hernias. We checked the umbilical cord stump: it should have three blood vessels (two arteries and one vein). If one is missing, it could indicate that the kidneys need to be checked.
Have you ever seen the doctor wiggle the baby’s legs like a little frog? This is called the Ortolani-Barlow maneuver. We do it to rule out hip dysplasia (when the femur bone doesn’t fit together properly). Detecting it on the first day prevents walking problems later on. We also count each finger and toe, this time medically speaking.
We turn the baby over to run our fingers along their spine, making sure it’s straight and closed. We also check for birthmarks or jaundice (yellowing of the skin).
Finally, we “play” with your baby to observe their Primitive Reflexes (The Nervous System):
We know that for you, this baby is a priceless treasure. Our Neonatology team takes nothing for granted. We take the time necessary with each newborn, without rushing. If we find anything unusual, we have the honesty to tell you and the technological capabilities to investigate it.
Your peace of mind is our goal. When we discharge you, we want you to go home knowing that your child has been examined by the best experts.

If you have been trying to conceive for more than 12 months (or 6 months if you are over 35) without success, a medical evaluation is recommended.
Insemination places the sperm directly into the uterus, while IVF fertilizes the egg in a laboratory and then transfers the embryo.
Most procedures are minimally invasive and are performed with anesthesia or pain-reduction measures.
It depends on the couple’s age, diagnosis, method used, and overall health. A specialist can estimate your personalized probability.
Female fertility declines significantly from the age of 35 due to the quantity and quality of the eggs.
Egg, sperm or embryo donation can be used.
