Learning that you’re pregnant is exciting. One of the first things you should do, after calling everyone you know to tell them, is to schedule an appointment with an obstetrician. Prenatal care is important for a healthy pregnancy and delivery. At first, prenatal visits will occur once every month until the sixth month, after which the frequency will be every two to three weeks. In the final month, the visits will be once a week.

Bleeding and cramping can occur at any time during a pregnancy. Early within the first trimester, bleeding might not necessarily be indicative of a serious problem. Bleeding and cramping that occur in the second and third trimesters, however, could be cause for concern. Regardless of when the bleeding occurs, a pregnant woman should always consult with her physician to determine the status of the pregnancy and health of her developing baby.
