What is Prenatal Care?
Prenatal care is a term used to describe the specific medical attention you receive throughout a pregnancy. Typically, prenatal care involves you attending regular check-ups from a doctor or nurse, or even a midwife.
What is The Goal of Prenatal Care?
Prenatal care is critical in ensuring that both you and the baby you’re carrying are healthy. Your medical provider will keep an eye on your baby’s development, and do some testing to identify and/or prevent any possible problems that may arise. Prenatal appointments are also a great opportunity for you to ask questions about your pregnancy or just talk with a medical professional about what you’re experiencing. They often have great advice or recommendations on how to ease any discomfort you may have or can explain anything about the pregnancy that you don’t understand.
When Should I Start Receiving Prenatal Care?
We recommend beginning prenatal care right when you find out that you are pregnant. Doing this ensures that you’re aware of everything you need to know about your pregnancy, right from the start. If you’re in Florida, pregnancy help isn’t too hard to find. But if you need a referral or assistance, we’d be happy to help you – no strings attached.
How Often Will I Go To Prenatal Care?
Prenatal care is often given throughout the entire duration of your pregnancy. But how often you go depends on where you’re at in your pregnancy, and what your medical provider thinks is best for you and your baby. Generally, the average person will attend a prenatal appointment once a month for the first 32 weeks. From weeks 32-37, they’ll go every other week. After week 37, they’ll go once a week until delivery day. Again, it’s best to follow your provider’s advice and attend as much as they feel is necessary.
Every pregnancy is different, so the schedule will certainly vary. Women who are going through a high-risk pregnancy or are experiencing serious complications may attend prenatal appointments at a higher frequency than others. Some individuals may also need to receive care from specialists, including a Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist.
