The goal of prenatal care is to help you and your baby stay healthy during your pregnancy. During the third trimester, you may have prenatal care visits about every 2 to 4 weeks. Timing depends on your health and pregnancy history. Starting at 36 weeks, you'll likely need checkups every 1 to 2 weeks until you deliver.
