Your First Prenatal Visit. If you did not meet with your health care provider before your were pregnant, your first prenatal visit will generally be around 8 weeks after your LMP (last menstrual period).

Even if you are not a first time mother, prenatal visits are still important since every pregnancy is different. This initial visit will probably be one of the longest.
