Newborns are the continuation of parents' lives, and from the day of pregnancy, the fetus brings a lot of joy and hope to expectant fathers and mothers. In order to ensure the smooth birth of the fetus, expectant mothers need to go to the hospital for prenatal check ups on time. Some expectant mothers do not understand the order of prenatal check ups, so what tests should be done at twelve weeks of pregnancy?
Expectant mothers at twelve weeks of pregnancy need to go to the hospital for their first prenatal examination, which requires the establishment of a record, so the items that need to be checked are relatively complex. The most basic examinations include weighing, blood pressure measurement, blood routine test, electrocardiogram, etc. At the same time, doctors will also ask expectant mothers and fathers if they have family genetic diseases, and all of these data will be recorded in the archives.
At this stage, there is another production inspection item that must be done, which is NT inspection. NT examination is an early screening test that measures the thickness of the nuchal translucency of the fetus under ultrasound monitoring to determine whether the fetus has diseases caused by chromosomal abnormalities. The reference value for nt inspection is 2.5mm, and if the actual data exceeds 3mm, it indicates an abnormality.
In addition to actively undergoing prenatal check ups at 12 weeks of pregnancy, there are some other precautions to take. At this stage, the fetus develops relatively quickly and requires a large amount of nutrition. Therefore, pregnant women should not be picky eaters and should eat some coarse and fine grains in order to provide better nutrition for the fetus. In addition, pregnant women should ensure a comfortable mood and avoid emotional tension that may harm the fetus.
