Make a list of questions to discuss at each of your visits to help you remain healthy and informed. The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic has a variety of resources you may find helpful, including our OB education notebook, The Health Diary for Myself and My Baby , a helpful tool to keep track of your baby's health and growth. You will be asked to make a return appointment after each visit for close follow-up of your pregnancy. This schedule may have to be changed depending on the specifics of your health and the health of your baby. Any time during the pregnancy that a question or problem arises, please feel free to call the OB-Gyn Clinic.
All questions are important.
If questions or problems occur during hours that the clinic is not open, please call Labor and Delivery. We encourage your partner and family to accompany you to your office visits, especially to at least one visit, in order to hear the baby's heartbeat and to ask any questions. They may even be interested in viewing a prenatal videotape.
