Healthy Pregnancy Guide

Congratulations on your pregnancy! To make sure your pregnancy is going well, you will see your health care provider for a series of prenatal visits. The first visit is usually before week 12. After that, appointments are generally scheduled during weeks 16, 24 to 28, 32, 36, 38, and then weekly. Your provider may recommend a different schedule based on your individual needs.

We usually think of pregnancy in 3 stages, called trimesters:

• First trimester: Conception to week 12
• Second trimester: Weeks 13 to 28
• Third trimester: Weeks 29 to birth
