What to Expect at Your First Prenatal Visit

When you’re pregnant, you can expect to be seeing your doctor often throughout the journey. After a certain point, you’ll know exactly what to expect from each appointment. When you first become pregnant, it can be daunting not knowing exactly what happens in a prenatal visit. Pregnancy is a long journey and your OBGYN in Arcadia, CA, is here to guide you along the way.

Generally, as soon as you find out that you’re pregnant, you should schedule your first visit with your OBGYN. Your doctor will start the visit by taking your vitals and checking your height, weight, and blood pressure. Once all of that is done, they’ll be able to perform an ultrasound and listen for your baby’s heartbeat. They’ll also measure your abdomen and discuss any concerns and issues that you may have.

Your OBGYN will also take this session to talk about what you should be expecting throughout your pregnancy. They can give you suggestions on how to best keep you and your baby healthy and happy throughout your journey.
