What To Ask: Your OB, 5 Suggested Questions || Mom Life

Hi there! When you are a first-time mom, you probably lack experience enough to know what to expect let alone what to ask to your doctor on each appointment you 2 have to check on your pregnancy, we will talk today all about the more for me important questions you should ask your doctor when pregnant.

1.- Am I at high risk for any problems during pregnancy?

Almost a not brainer but … I mean pregnancy hormones make you a brainless person sometimes, this question should be the first one you make your doctor ever, cause this way you can know your pregnancy limits.

2.- What tests or procedures do you normally recommend in pregnancy?

Every doctor is different and every pregnancy too but there are some normal tests, like blood work and urine monthly tests, to other more specific like amniocentesis or Stress tests, your doctor should explain each thoroughly to you, what is needed each month and why.

3.- Is it okay that I'm feeling cramping or have some bleeding?

Now this may alarm and scare you at first but sometimes bleeding can be completely normal during pregnancy so, better to ask when is ok and when is an emergency.

4.- What over the counter (OTC) medications are safe for me to use?

Again, not all pregnancy are the same, so be careful when you are used to take a pill with one of your pregnancies and now want to do the same always check with your doctor before assuming is ok to do it.

5.- Discuss/review your birth plan?

Now this one is something I wish I knew I could or had to ask, is beyond the just Is going to be a C-section or a Vaginal delivery? is more like if you are having a C-section can it be gentle (when a baby is taken out and immediately put in the mom chest to breastfeed) always make sure to know what you want and ask your doctor the possibility of that happening.

Always make notes before going to the doctor so you dont forget what you want to ask, I suggest not trusting your partner is going to remember cause -.- they sometimes don't.

What other questions you think are important to make to your OB on your monthly pregnancy check up? do leave them on the comments of this post or better yet make a post of your on the Motherhood Community
