Prenatal Care

During your visits, your OB doctor will check to make sure that you're not having any problems with your pregnancy. Your doctor will also talk with you about behaviors and activities (such as smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol or taking any drugs not given to you by your doctor) that you should avoid during your pregnancy.

Call your doctor as soon as you know you are pregnant,

After delivery it's very important you schedule a follow-up care appointment (postpartum visit) six weeks after delivery. Your doctor will make sure things are going well for you and your baby. It's also a good time to talk to you doctor about any health concerns.

How do you get a postpartum visit?
Call your doctor and go to your scheduled appointments.
