Regular prenatal check ups are necessary during pregnancy, which is something every pregnant woman can do. Prenatal check ups can not only understand one's own health status, but also how the fetus is developing. Once abnormalities occur, measures can be taken in a timely manner to deal with them. Congenital heart disease is very harmful, and many pregnant women are also worried that the fetus will suffer from this disease. So, can congenital heart disease be detected through prenatal check ups?
Congenital heart disease can be detected through prenatal examinations. Generally, in the later stages of pregnancy, the disease can be detected through prenatal examinations. If the condition is more severe, it can be detected in the middle of pregnancy. In the late stage of pregnancy, the frequency of prenatal checkups will be more frequent. Four dimensional color ultrasound can check whether the fetus has congenital heart disease. In order to have a healthy child, pregnant women need to actively undergo prenatal checkups.
Pregnant women should not undergo cardiac ultrasound too early because some parts of the fetus are not yet fully developed and may not be visible during the examination. In addition, the posture of the fetus may affect the examination. Therefore, pregnant women should undergo the examination at the best time. If the fetal heart development is really abnormal, pregnant women can terminate the pregnancy in a timely manner.
Pregnancy can also detect whether the fetus has congenital heart disease through symptoms. Pregnant women should pay more attention to changes in fetal heart rate. If the fetal heart rate is too fast or too slow, or if there are signs of arrhythmia, pregnant women should be alert. To avoid abnormal fetal heart development, pregnant women should try to avoid exposure to harmful substances as much as possible.
