    • Family History
    • Pregnancy Dos and Don'ts

First Trimester

Appointments will be scheduled monthly.  You'll be seen at 8-9 week for your initial exam and again at 16 weeks.

Second Trimester

Appointments will still be scheduled monthly.  You'll be seen at 16 weeks, 20 weeks and 24 weeks.

Third Trimester

Your appointment schedule changes during your third trimester.  You'll be seen at 28 weeks and 32 weeks.  You'll then have a sugar test and your appointments will switch to every two weeks.  Then at week 36 your appointments will occur weekly so we can keep a close eye on you and your baby as your due date approaches.

Ultrasound

You'll have an ultrasound at your initial visit and at week 20.
