The timing of your first prenatal appointment will vary according to where you live. Usually you will see your family doctor as soon as you suspect you are pregnant. Your family doctor will book your first prenatal appointment there at that office, or refer you to a midwife practice or an obstetrician. It's a good idea to ask around for names of midwife clinics or OBs before you go to this initial appointment with your family doctor.
Your first trimester prenatal schedule may not differ from that of a single pregnancy; however, you may discover that your healthcare provider wants to see you every two to three weeks. Once you enter into your second trimester, you should expect to have two prenatal visits per month. During the third trimester you should anticipate weekly prenatal appointments. Your healthcare provider may change the amount of appointments based on the health of you and your babies.
