From week 28 to 36 of pregnancy, how often is a prenatal visit scheduled?

From week 28 to 36 of pregnancy, prenatal visits are scheduled once every two weeks. This frequency is important because it allows healthcare providers to closely monitor the health and development of both the mother and the fetus during a critical period of growth. During these visits, assessments such as blood pressure, urine tests, fetal heart rate, and growth measurements are conducted. Increased monitoring is particularly crucial as the pregnancy progresses, especially in this trimester, to identify and manage any potential complications that may arise.

Scheduling visits every two weeks also aligns with the recommendations set by health organizations to ensure that any issues are detected early on. By the time a patient reaches the 36th week, the frequency of visits typically increases to once a week until delivery, reflecting the increased need for monitoring as the pregnancy nears its conclusion.
