How many weeks should twin fetal cardiac ultrasound be performed1

  Whether it's twins or singletons, getting a cardiac ultrasound should wait until around 22-30 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage, the fetal heart has already developed, and the examination results will be relatively accurate. Through ultrasound, the fetal heart can also be seen more clearly. Cardiac ultrasound is an important examination that can check whether the fetal heart has abnormalities or congenital diseases, so it is necessary to do this examination on time. Especially elderly pregnant women should undergo this examination.

  After pregnancy, not only do you need to undergo cardiac ultrasound examination, but you also need other tests such as electrocardiogram, blood routine, urine routine, Down syndrome screening, systematic ultrasound, and so on. These examinations are all necessary, and only by conducting detailed examinations can we understand the development of the fetus.

  After becoming pregnant, women should also pay attention to adjusting their diet, eat more nutritious foods, have comprehensive nutrition, and achieve a scientific and reasonable combination. Eat less junk food during pregnancy, such as fried and grilled foods. Alcohol or coffee should not be consumed during pregnancy as they can affect fetal development.
