Prenatal care, what is it? We get into what it is and why it is way more than just showing up to your doctor’s appointments. You can expect to have somewhere around 14 appointments throughout your entire pregnancy.  So on 14 days you will see a doctor or a midwife, that’s it.  For the other 260 some days that you are pregnant it is just you and the baby.  You, as the final decision maker, are the biggest influence on your little one.
