Pregnant women need to undergo many examinations throughout the entire pregnancy, although some of the examination items are the same, the timing and results of the examinations are different. Some doctors may ask pregnant women to undergo NF testing, but many pregnant women are not clear about what NF testing means?
NF examination refers to the thickness of the fetal neck, which is usually performed in mid pregnancy. If the result of the examination exceeds the normal value, it indicates a risk of fetal malformation, but it is not 100% certain. Therefore, if the examination results indicate abnormalities, pregnant women should not panic. They only need to undergo regular examinations and closely observe the fetus.
Pregnant women need to pay attention to the following points when undergoing NF testing:
1. Maintain a good mood; Pregnant women should talk to their fetuses more and maintain a good mood before undergoing NF testing, which is beneficial for the examination.
2. Walk more: Pregnant women should walk more during examinations. Although some pregnant women have already walked a lot, the fetus still does not cooperate and cannot be examined smoothly. At this time, pregnant women should not be too anxious. They should walk around and eat some food or listen to music in moderation. When the baby has a good posture, the doctor will let the pregnant woman undergo another examination.
3. Wearing loose clothing: Pregnant women should wear loose clothing, have a normal diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not hold urine during the NF examination.
