Dr. Lucien-Max Tchuisse and his dedicated medical team specialize in pregnancy well care to support mothers throughout a life-changing 40 weeks. Keeping up with your pregnancy well care visits only benefits you and your baby's health and your OGBYN will be part of an important support system for you as you make the transition into motherhood.
Well pregnancy visits change in frequency throughout your pregnancy depending on what trimester you're in, if you have any pre-existing conditions, or if your pregnancy is multiple and considered high-risk. Typically we like to see you by the time you're 8 weeks pregnant, and you come in monthly until the 28th week. Then we see you every two weeks until you're 36 weeks and from that point on you should come in every week until delivery.
At each well pregnancy visit, we check your vitals and track the baby's development. Keeping up with these visits can help your doctor identify any potential issues early on to reduce risk factors throughout the pregnancy. We also encourage you to use the time with your doctor and ask your gynecologist any questions. Every woman and every pregnancy is different, so don't hesitate to open up to your doctor and ask anything that's on your mind about your body or physical and mental health.
