Prenatal appointments and testing
Keep all your prenatal appointments and testing to make sure your pregnancy is going well.
- Make an appointment as soon as you think you may be pregnant.
- During your appointment, ask questions or talk about your concerns.
- During your appointment, we’ll:
- Check your blood pressure and weight
- Check your urine
- Measure your abdomen to check your baby’s growth
- Listen to your baby’s heartbeat
Order additional tests, if necessary
