Regular prenatal visits can help your doctor monitor your pregnancy and identify any problems or complications before they become serious. Babies born to mothers who lack prenatal care have triple the chance of being born at a low birth weight. Newborns with low birth weight are five times more likely to die than those whose mothers received prenatal care. Prenatal care ideally starts at least three months before you begin trying to conceive. <a href=\"https:\/\/babymigo.com\/knowledge\/kb\/pregnancy-planning-preconception-care\/\">Effectively plan this phase<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you become pregnant, you\u2019ll need to schedule regular health care appointments throughout each stage of your pregnancy.
