58 Comments. 1  I always find this topic amusing â coming from the UK â as we use grams and kilograms for food and similar measurements, so we use a âtrue weightâ. My parents are of the âpounds and ouncesâ generation and counting things in 12s is just weird now in the uk!
Here are a few things you may expect in your 1st prenatal visit: 1  Your gynecologist will help you understand the process especially if you are a first-time mom. 2  It is important that from the very first visit you feel free to ask your doctor about any query or concern you have.
Most pregnant women will have somewhere between 10 and 15 prenatal visits throughout the term of the pregnancy. During the first and second trimester, the expecting mother will normally visit the doctor or midwife almost every 4 weeks while the frequency will increase to almost every 2 weeks in the third trimester.
