Schedule your first prenatal visit as soon as you think or know you are pregnant.

The first visit takes longer than other visits as your provider will:

• Take a complete medical history
• Review your immunization history
• Discuss screenings based upon your personal history
• Review routine tests during pregnancy
• Do a urine and blood test to make sure you are healthy
• Do tests to make sure you do not have any sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
• Complete a physical and pelvic exam
• Review any medications and vitamins you are taking
• Discuss how you can take care of yourself while you are pregnant
• Determine your expected delivery date

• Your medical history
• How your pregnancy is going
• Your provider’s advice
