Your First Prenatal Visit: What to Expect & How to Prepare

Heading to your first prenatal visit? 🤰🏽✨ Here’s what to expect & how to prepare!

Most mamas see their provider between 8-12 weeks (midwives may wait until 10-12 weeks to hear baby’s heartbeat on a Doppler 💓).

Your visit will likely include:
👩‍⚕️ Building a relationship – Get to know your midwife or doctor!
🩺 Health check – Review medical history, nutrition, and pregnancy symptoms.
🩸 Routine tests – Bloodwork to check iron levels, blood type & more (some tests are optional—ask what’s right for you!).
📄 Paperwork – Bring your insurance info & be ready to discuss costs.

Pro tip: Come with questions about natural birth, ultrasounds, and your provider’s philosophy—it’s all about finding the best fit for you! 💕
