All of our physicians deliver babies at Woodwinds Hospital. Prenatal visits are scheduled every four weeks in the first and second trimester. From 28-32 weeks on it is every other week; and from 35-36 weeks on it is once a week. At each visit, maternal health is evaluated including nutritional status, weight gain, and risks of urinary tract infection, diabetes, and hypertension.
Prenatal care: Other first trimester visits. Subsequent prenatal visits â often scheduled about every four weeks during the first trimester â will probably be shorter than the first. Your health care provider will check your weight and blood pressure, and you'll discuss any concerns. Near the end of the first trimester â by about nine to 12 weeks of pregnancy â you might be able to hear your baby's heartbeat with a small device that bounces sound waves off your baby's heart (Doppler). Remember, your health care provider is there to support you throughout your pregnancy. Your prenatal appointments are an ideal time to discuss any questions or concerns â including things that might be uncomfortable or embarrassing. Also find out how to reach your health care provider between appointments.
