Prenatal care is designed to monitor the progress of a woman’s pregnancy and detect any potential problems before they harm the expectant mother or baby. This is a detailed site for new mothers to get much needed information.

Excellent definitions of the different types of prenatal care providers, a chart outlining the frequency of office visits during a non- high-risk pregnancy, and information on "what to expect" during those visits help demystify pre-natal medical care for the first time mother.
