Prenatal Care/Choosing a Physician

Prenatal care is one of the most important things you can do for your new baby. Morning sickness (anytime of the day), frequent urination and absence of menstruation are some first signs of pregnancy. If you think you are pregnant, you should schedule an appointment with your physician. Ideally, your first appointment should be within 8 to 12 weeks of your pregnancy. Each month you will have a check-up with your physician, monitoring your health and the health of your developing baby.
