At the Doctor's or Midwife's Office
If you had your preliminary appointment last month, your prenatal office visits will now start to slip into a routine. At the start of each appointment, expect to:
Step on the scale
Give a urine sample
Have your blood pressure checked
Be asked about any new or continuing pregnancy symptoms
Have your provider feel the outside of your abdomen
Bring along that list of questions that have come up since your last visit. Write these down at the conclusion of each chapter when they come to you and your partner so they are easy to find and you won't have to rely on your memory at the office.
