Yes, healthcare providers are essential for you and your baby. Choose an obstetrician-gynecologist (OB/GYN), a family practice doctor, or a certified nurse-midwife (CNM) to monitor your pregnancy and your baby's development through regular appointments and screening tests. If you're having trouble conceiving, a fertility doctor can help. About three weeks before your due date, look for a pediatrician for your baby and schedule childhood vaccinations. Contact your insurance company about in-network providers and ask trusted individuals for recommendations.
