First Prenatal Visit

Listen Later

The first prenatal visit sets the tone for the entire pregnancy. This episode walks through everything you'll need to cover – from confirming the pregnancy and dating ultrasound, to screening options, weight gain targets by BMI, food and medication safety, and exercise recommendations.

Show Outline:

  • Initial Assessment – Planned/desired pregnancy, options counseling if needed, full exam/pelvic/Pap
  • Ultrasound – Dating scan
  • Screening Options – QUAD, Sequential, NIPS, invasive testing
  • Weight Gain Targets by BMI
    • BMI <18.5: gain 28–40 lbs
    • BMI 18.5–24.9: gain 25–35 lbs
    • BMI 25–29.9: gain 15–25 lbs
    • BMI ≥30: gain 11–20 lbs
    • Food Safety – Avoid unpasteurized dairy, large fish (swordfish, shark, king mackerel, tilefish, bigeye tuna, etc.), uncooked meat/seafood, uncooked deli meat, alcohol
    • Medications – Nothing unless cleared by MD. Tylenol okay if needed. PNV, Colace, FeSO4. NO NSAIDs!
    • Exercise – Nothing that could leave a bruise on your belly! Moderate exercise is great.
