Phased care during the pregnancy
At the beginning of your pregnancy, you need different care than at the end. It is common to divide the pregnancy into two periods:
During the course of your pregnancy, you will have more frequent appointments:
- Between 10 and 20-weeks pregnancy, every 4 weeks
- Between 20 and 30-weeks pregnancy, every 3 weeks
- Between 30 and 36-weeks pregnancy, every 2 weeks
- From 36 weeks, every week.
Depending on your personal situation, you may have more or less check-ups.
Every check-up consists of:
- A discussion: You discuss how you experience the pregnancy.
- You may ask any questions you may have.
- A physical examination.
- Listen to the baby’s heartbeat.
- An examination to follow the growth and position of the baby.
- You will also have regular ultrasounds.
