Early prenatal interview (entretien prénatal précoce)
A long appointment that is not a medical examination: it is a conversation, usually with a midwife, about how the pregnancy is going for you — at home, at work, in your head. It is compulsory and covered at 100%, and it is the one most people have never heard of. Checked against ameli.fr on 21 September 2026.
