Ideally, checkup during pregnancy should be done at interval of 4 weeks up to 28 weeks; at interval of 2 weeks up to 36 weeks and thereafter weekly till the expected date of delivery. However, in the developing countries visits as frequently as this may not be possible for all women. Therefore, as per WHO recommendation, you should have at least 4 antenatal checkups done. The first antenatal checkup should be around 16 weeks, the second between 24-28 weeks, the third visit at 32 weeks and the fourth visit at 16 weeks.
