At each visit your health care provider will discuss with you any problems you are having, such as headaches, swelling of your hands or feet, contractions, or bleeding. Keep all of your appointments. This allows early detection of any problems. Your health care provider can then adjust the plan for your care as needed. Your health care provider will look for various signs of pregnancy and ask about your symptoms at different stages of your pregnancy.
Some tests are optional and are often done only if they are medically necessary.
