Prepare for your antenatal appointment
Make room for the questions that matter to you.
Appointments are a chance to discuss your health, feelings and preferences. Care schedules differ between countries and pregnancies; your own team can explain what comes next. You do not need to know all the answers before you arrive.
You can try
- Write down your main question before leaving home.
- Bring your list of medicines and supplements to discuss; do not change prescribed treatment on your own.
- Ask who to contact between appointments and how to request an interpreter.
