We typically schedule the following routine appointments for your pregnancy:

This appointment is in the first trimester between 8-10 weeks and will be with your provider. This visit is a longer visit and will include an ultrasound to set a due date and confirm the heart beat, a complete medical history, draw labs, collect a urine specimen and perform a pap smear (if one is due). We will discuss optional testing for genetics.
Routine OB Appointments

- Twice a week once past your due date
Anatomy Ultrasound

Afterwards, you will see your provider once the ultrasound is read by the radiologist
