When should I schedule my first appointment?
You should schedule an appointment at My OB/GYN Specialists as soon as you know you’re pregnant — starting prenatal care early ensures a healthy pregnancy from the get-go.
If you’re not pregnant, but have plans in the near future to become pregnant, it’s also a great time to schedule an appointment with the women’s health experts at My OB/GYN Specialists for preconception health care.
This may include an examination and a discussion of what you can do at home to help ensure a healthy pregnancy, such as avoiding certain foods and taking folic acid.
How often do I need to see the doctor during my pregnancy?
How often you see the team at My OB/GYN Specialists depends on your health and stage of pregnancy.
For the first 28 weeks of pregnancy, you only need to go in once a month. Then, twice a month during weeks 29 through 36. As you get closer to your delivery, the team at My OB/GYN may want to see you once a week.
As a patient with the team of healthcare professionals at My OB/GYN Specialists, you can expect to deliver your baby at Baptist Hospital in Miami.
What special tests do I need during pregnancy?
The tests you need during your pregnancy vary and may be determined partially by your age and health needs.
Common tests include:
- Complete blood count to check for anemia
- Rh factor for blood compatibility with your baby
- HIV test
- Diagnostic tests for genetic disorders such as Down syndrome
- Glucose challenge test for gestational diabetes
As a modern, full-service practice, the team at My OB/GYN also offers ultrasounds at the office.
What is a high-risk pregnancy?

You may be considered high risk if you:
- Are over the age of 35
- Have a pre-existing medical condition such as diabetes or heart disease
- Developed gestational diabetes
- Gained too much or not enough weight
- Are pregnant with twins or multiples
