Content: Tests done during pregnancy can help prevent problems or catch them early on. Getting early and regular prenatal care can help you have a healthy and full-term pregnancy. Whether you choose an obstetrician/gynecologist (OB-GYN), family physician, or nurse-midwife for your pregnancy care can depend on a number of factors: What kind of experience you’re looking for. Where you’re planning to give birth. Whether or not your pregnancy is high risk. What your insurance will pay for. Whatever your preference, OB-GYNs, physicians, and midwives are all licensed health care providers and can aid in the prenatal care, birth, and delivery of your baby. Ultrasounds and other prenatal tests will help check for birth defects, gestational diabetes, diseases, or other genetic problems. Taking prenatal vitamins and daily supplements such as folic acid, for example, can also help lower the risk for certain birth defects.
