Prenatal care: Third trimester visits

Content

The goal of prenatal care is to help you and your baby stay healthy during your pregnancy. During the third trimester, you may have prenatal care visits about every 2 to 4 weeks. Timing depends on your health and pregnancy history. Starting at 36 weeks, you'll likely need checkups every 1 to 2 weeks until you deliver.
