Month 2: Prenatal Checkups & Tests
During the second month of pregnancy, you'll begin prenatal checkups and undergo some essential tests to ensure your baby's health:
First Prenatal Appointment
Your healthcare provider will review your medical history, perform a physical exam, and discuss any concerns or questions you may have.
Early Pregnancy Tests
Your healthcare provider may order blood tests to confirm your pregnancy, measure your hCG levels, and check for any potential issues.
Prenatal Vitamins
Start taking a prenatal vitamin with at least 400 micrograms of folic acid daily to support your baby's development and prevent birth defects.
