Antenatal information
Your antenatal visits are a great way to learn how your baby is growing and what is happening to your body.
Due to COVID-19, prenatal visits might be different. Some doctors and midwives are using telehealth to see pregnant women. More information: COVID-19: information for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
During visits:
- your blood pressure will be checked
- the doctor or midwife will palpate (feel) your abdomen to see how much your baby has grown and listen to your baby’s heartbeat
- sometimes you may be weighed, have blood taken for tests and may have your urine checked.
