Your OB will know: The size (length) and development of each of the organ systems of your baby are well known and are measured each time you visit your Obstetrician. Follow his/her guidelines , avoid smoking, alcohol etc and all will most likely be well. Good Luck Hope this helps Dr Z

Attend prenatal care: By attending routine prenatal care (visits), your doctor may asks questions and measure you belly (fundal height). Also, this gives you a chance to voice any concerns and ask questions. This enables your doctor to formulate an opinion if your baby is growing healthy.
