The team at Lake OB-GYN Associates of Mid-Florida, LLC takes a personalized approach to care and your prenatal experience might not be like anyone else\u2019s. However, you can expect comprehensive and compassionate care throughout gestation.<\/p>\n

Your first prenatal visit, which is usually scheduled eight weeks after the start of your last menstrual period, will be the most extensive. During this visit, your doctor reviews your medical and gynecological history, as well as you and your partner\u2019s family history.<\/p>\n

You can also expect a complete physical and pelvic exam, as well as a Pap smear, urinalysis, and blood test. Your doctor also calculates your due date, answers all of your questions, and reviews what to expect during your ongoing prenatal care.<\/p>\n

The frequency of your prenatal visits is generally based on your weeks of pregnancy, with visits once a month up through 28 weeks, two visits a month up through 36 weeks, and then weekly visits until the birth of your baby. However, you might require more frequent visits based on your personal prenatal care needs.<\/p>\n
