Maternity Care is an important part of staying healthy during pregnancy.
Your doctor, nurse or midwife will monitor your future baby’s development and do routine testing to help find and prevent possible problems.

You can start getting Maternity Care as soon as you know you’re pregnant.
It’s best to see a doctor before you get pregnant — this is sometimes called pre-Maternity Care or preconception planning. But if that’s not possible, just begin Maternity visits as soon as you can.
How often you’ll get Maternity Care depends on how far along your pregnancy is and how high your risk is for complications. The typical prenatal care schedule for someone who’s 18-35 years old and healthy is:
- Every 4 or 6 weeks for the first 32 weeks
- Every 2 or 3 weeks for the 32nd-37th weeks
- Every week from the 37th week until delivery
Your doctor might ask you to come in for check-ups more often if you have a high-risk pregnancy.
