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.
You will usually see someone once a month for the first two trimesters of pregnancy, every two weeks in the pregnancy weeks 28 through 36, and weekly until the birth of your baby. The goal of prenatal care is to keep you and baby healthy. This includes both screenings and preventative care.
