if a woman is 5 months pregnant she should have went to the doctor at least 3 times so far. im 16 and a half weeks pregnant (around 4 months pregnant) and i have been to the doctor for blood tests, pap-smears, urine tests, cervical checks, breast exams, ultra sounds, etc. its all part of the being pregnant process, every pregnant woman should and must go through. a doctor can tell you lots about your pregnancy that no one else can...and without all the proper tests and nutritional information that the doctor does and can give you, you could have some serious complications and not even know it and therefore hurt your baby long term. its just good to go to the doctor and know your healthy and your baby is healthy as well. also i would think that it would be very unfair and very wrong to not tell the father to the child that he has a baby on the way. the only reason i could understand not telling him, would be if he was a danger to the mother of the child (abusive in some way) or a danger to the child (neglectfull and irresponsible) but any other reason would just be being selfish and stupid, because every mother knows that every child needs a father figure in their life....unless of course the man involved would be a horrible father figure and could not get his life straight to become better to be a father. but everyone diserves a good chance. and every father should pay child support and help out with a child of his own. a child should not grow up without a father. it takes a mother and a father to raise a healthy child....even if the two dont get along or love one another any more its best that for the child sake they get along so that the child feels secure in knowing he is just like every other child and gets to visit his father and play ball and go for ice cream and see him on christmas and etc....
good luck.

I'm 4 months and I've been there twice. about to go for three next week. I'd say 3 or 4 depending on when she found out. most doctors won't take you until you're at least 8 weeks. i found out at 5 weeks. if she didn't find out til like 3 months she might go 2 times. she should let him know because he's gonna have to pay child support and may want to be part of the child's life, like that or not. but it really is only fair to let him know. my mother and father hate each other and were never married but I am thankful every day that she told my dad. if she didn't i'd be missing a lot. to whomever this concerns, congrats and good luck.

Once a month for the first 5 or so months then twice a month until 8 months.
Yes its selfish to not let the father know. He has just as much right to be in the baby's life. If he does not want to be in the baby's life then at least you tried.

If she started seeing a doctor ASAP, 3 or 4 times, about once a month from two monthish. That depends on when she found out she was pregnant. As for not telling their ex-bf, there could be a million reason why she hasn't told him. It depends on the situation.

You should go to the doc once a month. If the dad is around where you can find him, you should let him know, even if he doesn't want to have anything to do with you or the baby. It is different now. When you have a baby, you have to list the father. There must be 2 signatures on the birth cert except in the case of rape or something like that.

At 5 months she should have gone at least 4 times. It takes a month to figure out you're pregnant and get an appointment.
If she doesn't let her ex know about the baby then when it's born she shouldn't be trying to get child support out of him.

It would depend on her health, but most folks are expected to see a doctor about once a month. Sometimes this can jump to once a week if there's severe deformities in the fetus or the mother is suffering from severe medical problems. These medical problems can be anything from cancer to a history of endoscopic pregnancies (can't remember the actual phrase for a pregnancy in the horns of the uterus.).

pregnancy visits are once a month, it is very important because if she has issues (like high blood pressure, over bloating,etc.) it is very important to get those issue resolve throughout the pregnancy for a healthy mom-to-be and baby. ex-bf should know, even if the two dont get along because one day that child is going to know and it will be a lot easier if father knows at the begining, even if he is going to help or not. he does have a right to know
