pregnancy: prenatal visit schedule

overview

as your pregnancy moves along, your prenatal visits will happen more often. so you'll have the chance to get to know your doctor or midwife well.

it's common to see your doctor or midwife:

  • every 4 weeks until week 28.
  • every 2 to 3 weeks from weeks 28 to 36.
  • every week from week 36 to birth.

your doctor or midwife may want to see you more or less often, depending on:

  • your health.
  • your age.
  • if you've had a normal, full-term pregnancy before.
