Most visits to the doctor occur between 8 and 12 weeks of pregnancy.
The doctor will take your personal and family history. It will be an integral part of the prognosis of the development of your pregnancy, along with the results of examinations and tests that you will have to undergo as prescribed by the obstetrician.
Your doctor will need the following information to complete your medical history:
• previous and current illnesses, if any;
• vaccinations you have had throughout your life;
• medications you are currently taking;
• dates of your last cycle;
• birth control methods you have used;
• history of previous pregnancies (delivery, premature birth, cases of miscarriage or termination of pregnancy, as well as ectopic and missed pregnancies);
• hereditary diseases in your family;
• cases of birth of children with malformations;
• diseases of immediate family (including diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure and other life-threatening diseases).

And finally, we will remind you of what needs to be avoided so that the laying of organs and the development of all the life-supporting systems of the child in the second month of pregnancy go smoothly.
