Doctor's offices aren't exactly known for their flexibility and accommodation. They generally just declare "your next appointment is X".
It could conceivably be difficult to schedule prenatal appointments if you are working a straight 9-5 because doctors generally only offer appointments M-F 9-5 as well.
That being said, most prenatal appointments are pretty short, especially early on. It's mostly just rote data collection on a fixed schedule.
Early on, appointments are only every 4 weeks or so, increasing to weekly by the end. The scheduling of the appointments is pretty sensitive though as all prenatal milestones are based on gestational age by weeks, so visits need to occur at specific times at specific intervals.
