Pregnancy care gives you a place to ask questions and review your health as your pregnancy progresses. Early visits usually cover your medical history, previous pregnancies, current medicines and any concerns you have. As the pregnancy develops, appointments give your clinician a chance to review your wellbeing, discuss recommended tests and talk through what to expect before delivery. The schedule can vary with your health and the stage of pregnancy.

For a pregnancy care consultation, bring any ultrasound reports, blood test results and records from earlier visits. If you take prescription medicines, vitamins or other supplements, have their names and doses available. You can use the appointment to discuss symptoms, your day-to-day routine and questions about delivery planning. Before you leave, ask when your next review is due and who to contact if a new concern comes up between appointments. Keep your reports together so you can take them to each visit.
