Other names: Care during pregnancy
Prenatal care is more than just health care during pregnancy. It is possible that your health care provider talk with you about many issues, such as nutrition and physical activity, what to expect during the birth process and basic skills for newborn care.
The doctor or midwife will give you a calendar with the schedule of your prenatal visits. Surely you will see your health care provider more frequently as you near your due date. A typical scheme includes visiting your doctor or midwife:
* About once a month during the first six months of pregnancy
* Every two weeks during the seventh and eighth month of pregnancy
* Weekly for the ninth month of pregnancy
If you are over 35 or your pregnancy is high risk because you have certain health problems, like diabetes or hypertension, your doctor or midwife will probably want to see you more often.
