Make the First Prenatal Appointment
In the first prenatal appointment, your doctor may need to confirm the pregnancy. This can be done with a combination of a blood test, ultrasound, and a history of your medications and medical conditions. Once pregnancy has been verified, they will give an approximate calculation of your due date as well as provide a lot of information or advice on what you should do during your pregnancy. If necessary, make a list of questions and ask your doctor during this appointment. Make sure to inform any signs during this period, such as pain, cramping, or bleeding. [2]
