Regular prenatal checkups help track the health of both mother and baby throughout pregnancy. As a general guide, many doctors recommend visits roughly once a month through the 28th week, every two weeks from 28 to 36 weeks, and weekly from 36 weeks until delivery.

These visits typically include monitoring blood pressure, weight, and the baby’s growth, along with screening tests at specific stages of pregnancy.

Every pregnancy is different, and your doctor may recommend a different schedule based on your individual health and any risk factors. Always follow the specific guidance given by your own obstetrician.
