Dr. Ana Lilia Franco Dr. Franco

Prenatal care is the follow-up throughout pregnancy. Visits should be monthly for the first seven months and more frequent closer to birth. Each visit includes routine tests and additional studies based on risk.

What does prenatal care include?

It involves successive checkups to monitor the baby’s development. Common prenatal tests:

  • Obstetric exam.
  • Weight and blood pressure.
  • Blood and urine tests.
  • Echocardiography.
  • Obstetric ultrasound.
  • Prenatal diagnostic tests.

Monthly visits track weight, blood pressure, labs, and ultrasounds to evaluate the fetus. The obstetrician will guide care based on your history and comfort.

When can the embryo be detected by ultrasound?

At 4–5 weeks the gestational sac may be visible even if the embryo isn’t yet. A follow-up scan confirms embryo and heartbeat.

Vaginal infections occur when bacteria, fungi, or parasites upset the natural balance of the vaginal flora, causing symptoms that need evaluation.
