What to Expect at Your Visits

Prenatal Visit Schedule

In the second trimester (weeks 13 to 27), you may have between 1-4 visits, depending on your pregnancy risk factors. Your provider will check your weight, blood pressure, and listen to the baby’s heart at each visit.

Anatomy Ultrasound: This ultrasound is done at 18 to 20 weeks. It is done to see the baby's organs, growth and placenta. The baby's sex can usually be seen at this time. Your sonographer will ask you if you would like to know the sex of the baby. The ultrasound images in your electronic record (My Duke Health) may include information about the sex of the baby even if you request not to know this information.
