58 Comments. 1  I always find this topic amusing â coming from the UK â as we use grams and kilograms for food and similar measurements, so we use a âtrue weightâ. My parents are of the âpounds and ouncesâ generation and counting things in 12s is just weird now in the uk!
Here are a few things you may expect in your 1st prenatal visit: 1  Your gynecologist will help you understand the process especially if you are a first-time mom. 2  It is important that from the very first visit you feel free to ask your doctor about any query or concern you have.
Most pregnant women have between ten and 15 prenatal visits. If you have a partner or labor coach, you may want that person to come to some of these appointments with you. Typically, a mom-to-be will visit her doctor or midwife every four weeks during the first and second trimesters.
