Regular prenatal visits
Getting prenatal care as soon as you know you're pregnant (or, if possible, before you conceive) and seeing your health care provider regularly as your pregnancy progresses are vital to you and your baby's health. During the first trimester, you'll probably have a checkup once a month.
