Typical visit length: 20–45 minutes
After your visit
What to expect once you leave the office — and what to do to keep things on track.
Consider...
- 1
Scheduling screenings
Mammograms, paps, or follow-up ultrasounds may be ordered separately.
- 2
Picking up prescriptions
Confirm the pharmacy and check insurance coverage for new birth control or hormones.
- 3
Tracking test results
Pap and lab results usually post within 1–2 weeks. Call if you don’t hear back.
- 4
Booking your next visit
Prenatal visits become more frequent as pregnancy progresses.
When to call your provider or seek care
- Heavy or sudden bleeding, especially if pregnant
- Severe pelvic or abdominal pain
- Signs of infection: fever, foul discharge
- Reduced fetal movement (if pregnant)
In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
