Prenatal care at Kaiser Permanente includes routine testing and screening to make sure you\u2019re healthy and that your baby is developing normally.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on your health history and how your pregnancy is progressing, we may recommend <strong>prenatal screening tests <\/strong>or <strong>diagnostic tests <\/strong>for birth defects. Both types of prenatal tests are available to you, regardless of your age. The tests are optional, so the decision about whether or not to get screened, or which test to choose, is up to you.<\/p>\n<p>Prenatal screening tests can help you determine if you have a higher or lower chance of having a baby with certain birth defects. These screenings are completely safe and pose no risk to your pregnancy. Screening tests do not look for all types of birth defects, but they can help detect:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Down syndrome <\/strong>\u2013 a chromosome abnormality that causes mental retardation and some physical birth defects.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Edwards\/trisomy 18 <\/strong>\u2013 a chromosome abnormality that causes severe mental retardation and physical birth defects.<\/li>\n<li><strong>open neural-tube defects <\/strong>\u2013 openings in the baby\u2019s spine or skull.<\/li>\n<li><strong>abdominal-wall defects <\/strong>\u2013 openings in the baby\u2019s abdomen (belly).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; title=&#8221;Start your prenatal vitamins&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<p id=\"prenatal_vitamins\">Ideally, you should start taking your prenatal vitamins the month before your pregnancy begins. You should continue to take them until you stop breastfeeding, or until 6 weeks after your baby is born if you bottle-feed.<\/p>\n<p>Look for a prenatal vitamin that includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>400 micrograms (mcg) of folate\/folic acid<\/li>\n<li>400 IU of vitamin D<\/li>\n<li>200 to 300 milligrams (mg) of calcium<\/li>\n<li>70 mg of vitamin C<\/li>\n<li>3 mg of thiamine<\/li>\n<li>2 mg of riboflavin<\/li>\n<li>20 mg of niacin<\/li>\n<li>6 mcg of vitamin B12<\/li>\n<li>10 mg of vitamin E<\/li>\n<li>15 mg of zinc<\/li>\n<li>17 mg of iron<\/li>\n<li>150 mcg of iodine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can take over-the-counter vitamins as long as they have a USP seal or NSF International certification. These organizations monitor supplement quality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aversion to prenatal supplements <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Often in your first trimester, prenatal vitamins can increase your nausea and vomiting. If you are having difficulty tolerating your prenatal vitamins, try breaking them in half, taking half in the morning and half in the evening. You can also try crushing them between two spoons and mixing them with applesauce or yogurt.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, if they are still causing nausea, you can try replacing your regular prenatal with 2 children\u2019s Flintstones\u2122 vitamins during the first trimester. While not the same as a true prenatal tablet, they are a good substitute for those who need a gentler supplement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A note on gummy vitamins<\/strong>: While they may be more palatable, gummy prenatal vitamins are not the same as regular tablet prenatal vitamins and should be avoided. Certain essential nutrients are not well absorbed when in a gummy format. Additionally, most gummy vitamins are coated with sugar, adding empty calories to your day.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; title=&#8221;See if you&#8217;re eligible for our new prenatal care options&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<p id=\"prenatal\">Get top-notch pregnancy care\u2014but fewer trips to your clinician\u2019s office\u2014with our new at-home toolkit. <a href=\"https:\/\/georgia.kaiserpermanente.org\/maternity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2022\/10\/2022MC0538-KPConnected-Pregnancy-Maternity.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn more about the Kaiser Permanente Connected Pregnancy program here.<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/kp.qumucloud.com\/view\/vGx0czK2wBaORh1woIW7eP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Now your care comes to you &#8211; With our new at-home toolkit to help track your pregnancy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/urldefense.com\/v3\/__https:\/nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https*3A*2F*2Fkp.qumucloud.com*2Fview*2FjxkjzrKw9anSVhii8AL5zo&amp;data=05*7C01*7Caowensmith*40gsu.edu*7C7015bc96bac14fe2206408da9d76b49f*7C515ad73d8d5e4169895c9789dc742a70*7C0*7C0*7C637995430470392142*7CUnknown*7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0*3D*7C3000*7C*7C*7C&amp;sdata=1kv2AcVb1gVU25F558WmQXW8ntfMCFVQuDxMKM7uDyM*3D&amp;reserved=0__;JSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUl!!BZ50a36bapWJ!s_8Kyc-Pr0mTiYfI9WirwlNvGBeHOuVIH8f2j-jHJsC-LRcB9miuUtafreIcrojjTPVBa_3bbuD3PyjFGRcOOdY$\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ahora su equipo de atenci\u00f3n viene a usted &#8211; El nuevo kit para el hogar le ayudar\u00e1 a monitorear su embarazo<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][\/toggles][divider line_type=&#8221;Full Width Line&#8221; line_thickness=&#8221;1&#8243; divider_color=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;content_subheader&#8221;]\n<h2>Health coverage<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][toggles style=&#8221;default&#8221;][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; title=&#8221;Review your health coverage&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<p id=\"health_coverage\">Remember to enroll your newborn in a health insurance plan within 31 days after birth.

By the end of week 12, your baby is about 2 to 3 inches long and weighs about 1 ounce.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][\/toggles][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; centered_text=&#8221;true&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;1596&#8243; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;content_subheader&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1627346227250{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Resources<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;content_block baby_checklist&#8221;]<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/georgia.kaiserpermanente.org\/maternity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/04\/baby_icon.png?fit=75%2C75&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"icon\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Your New Baby Checklist<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Keep track of what you have and what you need.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/georgia.kaiserpermanente.org\/maternity\/resources\/new-baby-checklist\/\">Learn More<\/a><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;content_block birth_plan&#8221;]<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/georgia.kaiserpermanente.org\/maternity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/04\/plan_care_icon.png?fit=75%2C75&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"icon\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Creating a Birth Plan<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Consider your options to pre-plan for your big day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/georgia.kaiserpermanente.org\/maternity\/resources\/birth-plan\/\">Learn More<\/a><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=&#8221;jumbo&#8221; button_style=&#8221;regular&#8221; button_color_2=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; icon_family=&#8221;none&#8221; text=&#8221;Resource Center&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/georgia.kaiserpermanente.org\/maternity\/resources\/&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; id=&#8221;reach_us&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;padding-2-percent&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;top&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">How to reach us<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Need to make an appointment with your care provider?
