Prenatal care is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. Regular visits to your healthcare provider allow for early detection and management of potential complications.
What to Expect During Prenatal Visits
During your prenatal visits, your doctor will:
- Monitor your blood pressure and weight
- Check the baby's growth and heartbeat
- Perform necessary blood tests and ultrasounds
- Provide guidance on nutrition and exercise
