(HealthDay News) — When you head to the doctor for your first prenatal visit after learning that you’re pregnant, you should prepare a list of questions. The American Pregnancy Association offers this list of topics for discussion:

Is there a phone number or nurse line that I can call when I have questions?
Who should I call if I start bleeding or cramping?
What should I consider an emergency?
Now that I’m pregnant, do I need to make changes to my nutrition, exercise routine and sexual activity?
How often will I have prenatal visits?
