AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS:
The Prenatal Visit
In their role as advocates for children and
families, pediatricians are in an excellent position to support and
guide parents during the prenatal period. Prenatal visits allow the
pediatrician to gather basic information from parents, provide
information and advice to them, and identify high-risk situations in
which parents may need to be referred to appropriate resources for
help. In addition, prenatal visits are the first step in establishing a
relationship between the pediatrician and parents and help parents develop parenting skills. The prenatal visit may take several possible
forms depending on the experience and preferences of the parents,
competence and availability of the pediatrician, and provisions of the
health care plan.
