What is prenatal care?
Prenatal care refers to the healthcare and monitoring provided during pregnancy. It begins early in pregnancy and continues throughout the prenatal period.
Monitor your health
Prenatal appointments allow your healthcare team to monitor important aspects of your health and identify concerns that may require additional evaluation.
Follow baby's development
Your pregnancy can be followed through appropriate examinations, measurements, screenings, laboratory testing, and imaging when indicated.
Discuss your concerns
Prenatal visits provide time to discuss symptoms, nutrition, medications, lifestyle questions, and changes you experience during pregnancy.
Prepare for delivery
As pregnancy progresses, prenatal care can help you understand what to expect during the later stages of pregnancy, delivery, and the postpartum period.
What happens at a prenatal visit?
Your prenatal visits are tailored to your stage of pregnancy and individual health needs. Your first appointment may include a review of your medical and pregnancy history, discussion of your current health, physical examination when appropriate, and recommended laboratory or screening tests.
Your provider may also discuss medications and supplements, nutrition, exercise, prenatal vitamins, lifestyle considerations, and symptoms that should prompt you to contact your healthcare team.
