What
you can expect at this month’s checkup: Your doctor will want to
check the pregnancy symptoms you are experiencing, the date of your
last normal menstrual period to determinate your due date (date
of delivery), your uterus and cervix for signs and approximately
age of pregnancy. If there’s any question or doubt a pregnancy test
may be ordered if you haven’t already had one. Your doctor will
ask lots of questions about your health and personal medical history,

your personal life that might affect your pregnancy.
