The Basics
See your doctor or midwife regularly.
Plan on visiting your doctor or midwife at least every month for the first 7 months and more often during the last 2 months. A midwife is someone who is trained to help women during childbirth and provide prenatal care.
Become a partner with your doctor or midwife to manage your care. Ask questions and discuss any issues related to your pregnancy. Find out all you can about how to stay healthy.
Don't hesitate to call your doctor or midwife if something is bothering or worrying you. Sometimes physical changes can be signs of a problem.
