How often should I see my caregiver during my pregnancy?

You should see your caregiver during pregnancy typically once a month for the first seven months, every fortnight in the eighth month and once a week in the ninth. That will change based on complications in the pregnancy and sometimes they will do every five or six weeks and sometimes every three weeks but your caregiver typically will have a game plan for you. Should you stray from the routine care then obviously your caregiver will increase the amounts of visits necessary. Or, if its your fifth baby and you have been through this many times and you have a lot of care issues and babysitting issues they can sometimes stretch the visits out a little bit if your pregnancy is healthy.
