What is a typical prenatal visit like?
Each visit is about you and your individual pregnancy. We talk about all the factors that influence your pregnancy, including nutrition, emotional and physical well-being. Then your blood pressure is taken. Your urine will be checked for sugar and protein. Your weight may or may not be taken. Your baby is measured and the heartbeat monitored. Any questions you have are given real time and attention.
