It is normal that when you are carrying a child your healthcare provider will request that you attend regular, monthly check-ups to help ensure that the health of your baby is provided for.

One of the most important factors of a pregnancy is maintaining a healthy diet. You should not put on any more than three pounds in the first month of pregnancy and if you have then you are carrying empty calories.
