Prenatal Care is important for you and your baby. Prenatal visits help you make sure that you and your baby will be as healthy as possible. In addition to checking the growth and development of your baby, these appointments cover things such as weight gain, nutrition during pregnancy, vitamins and medications, working, exercising, dealing with morning sickness, and a variety of other concerns that may arise during pregnancy.
