Your first prenatal midwife visit might take a little bit longer than subsequent appointments. Your midwife evaluates your weight, blood pressure, pulse, and other vital signs. They ask about your health history, family history of disease, past diagnoses, and medications you might take.
Your midwife completes a comprehensive physical exam, including a pelvic exam and Pap test, to ensure you’re in good health or detect problems before complications arise.
They might complete a transvaginal ultrasound to view your baby, depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy, as well as a urine test and blood tests. Your provider calculates your due date and answers any questions you might have.
After your first prenatal appointment, subsequent visits are often shorter. Your provider again checks your vital signs, might have you complete a urine or blood test, and evaluates your weight.
They check your baby’s heart rate and measure your abdomen when you begin to show. Depending on your personalized situation and how far along you are in your pregnancy, your midwife might recommend you undergo an ultrasound or other diagnostic procedures.
Your midwife lets you know how often to schedule prenatal visits based on your unique situation. In general, schedule a prenatal visit when you find out you’re pregnant and:
Call your midwife right away if you experience new or unusual symptoms during pregnancy, such as bleeding, pelvic pain, or decreased fetal movement.

Prenatal care is about more than checking how your pregnancy is progressing. It is also your time to ask questions, understand the changes happening in your body, and prepare for what comes next. Some appointments may bring new questions as your pregnancy progresses. Others may simply provide reassurance that you and your baby are progressing as expected. Your midwife is there for both.
Every pregnancy is different, which means the questions you have may change from one appointment to the next. Prenatal visits can include conversations about nutrition, exercise, physical changes, preparing for labor, birth preferences, breastfeeding, postpartum recovery, and other concerns that are important to you.
You do not need to know all the right questions before your appointment. Part of your midwife’s role is helping you understand what to expect and giving you clear information about your options.
As your pregnancy progresses, your care changes with it. Your certified midwife can help you prepare for labor and delivery while continuing to monitor your individual health needs.
FemmPro MIDWIFE is also part of the collaborative FemmPro OB/GYN practice, so you remain connected to additional medical expertise when appropriate. This gives you the personalized relationship of midwifery care with the support of an established women’s healthcare team.
Our goal is simple: to help you feel informed, heard, and supported from your first prenatal visit through postpartum care.
