Next Steps

Follow-up

For the first few months of pregnancy, monthly doctor's visits are standard. After that, visits are biweekly until the last month of pregnancy when doctor's visits are weekly. Usually, blood testing and anemia checks are performed at the first doctor's visit and at the 16- and 28-week visits.

The doctor will probably provide the woman who is pregnant some information to read about pregnancy. She should ask questions if she needs help understanding the information or what is happening during the pregnancy.
