Every woman needs to undergo regular prenatal check ups after becoming pregnant. Prenatal check ups are very important for pregnant women. Only through prenatal check ups can they better understand their own and the fetus's condition. However, the timing and items of prenatal check ups vary depending on the pregnancy. Now let's take a look at how long it takes to have a check-up at the beginning of pregnancy?
Just getting pregnant refers to the early stage of pregnancy, which is a critical period for embryo formation. Therefore, we need to be cautious and can go to the hospital for blood or urine tests to help us determine if we are pregnant. After confirming our pregnancy, we usually need to do an ultrasound around 40 days to confirm if it is a live fetus in the uterus. In mid pregnancy, if there are no special symptoms, a prenatal check-up every two months is sufficient. In late pregnancy, it is necessary to have a check-up every week or two.
The early stage of pregnancy is mainly a period of time after confirming pregnancy, generally referring to 50-60 days of pregnancy. This stage is a critical period for embryonic development, and it is not recommended for expectant mothers to undergo too many examinations. As long as their physical condition is well, expectant mothers can relax. After 12 weeks of pregnancy, they can go to the hospital for a more comprehensive examination, which is also the time for the first pregnancy check-up.
From this, it can be seen that prenatal check ups need to be conducted according to the prescribed time. In the early stages of pregnancy, fetal development can be examined by B-ultrasound at around 50 days, followed by NT screening from 11 to 13 weeks+6 weeks of pregnancy, Down syndrome screening from 15 to 20 weeks of pregnancy, and four-dimensional color ultrasound screening from 22 to 26 weeks of pregnancy to eliminate abnormalities. Usually, follow the doctor's advice for examination according to one's own situation. During pregnancy, it is important to maintain a good mood as it is beneficial for the healthy development of the fetus.
