During your first prenatal appointment, your doctor will perform a physical exam, including checking your weight and blood pressure. Additional tests may also be taken, such as a urinalysis. Your initial visit is a great time to ask your doctor questions about your pregnancy and address any concerns you might have. 

After your first prenatal appointment, you will typically see your OB-GYN once every four weeks. Throughout your pregnancy, your doctor will continue to monitor your and your growing baby’s health, and eventually prepare you for labor and delivery.
