The initial routine prenatal visit should occur between 6 and 8 wk gestation. Follow-up visits should occur at about 4-wk intervals until 28 wk, at 2-wk intervals from 28 to 36 wk, and weekly thereafter until delivery. Prenatal care includes screening for disorders, taking measures to reduce fetal and maternal risks, and counseling.
If you're healthy and there are no complicating risk factors, you can expect to see your health care provider: 1  every 4 weeks until the 28th week of pregnancy. 2  then every 2 weeks until 36 weeks. 3  then once a week until delivery.
