With the influence of the environment and various reasons, the rate of newborn deformities has been increasing year by year, which has also made many couples worried. In fact, as long as the pregnancy preparation test is done well and both husband and wife are in good condition before having sex, these problems can be avoided. When should the pregnancy check-up be done? Many couples are not clear about it, but I believe that after reading the following introduction, you will find a detailed answer.
When should the pregnancy preparation test be done
It is very necessary to undergo pre pregnancy examinations for the sake of eugenics and fertility. It is generally recommended to start getting checked 3-6 months before pregnancy, including for both partners. It is best for the pre pregnancy examination of the female party to be conducted within 3-7 days after the end of menstruation and without sexual intercourse. Once other issues are discovered during pre pregnancy examinations, there is still time for intervention and treatment. Therefore, it is advisable to undergo pre pregnancy examinations at least 3 months in advance, and both partners should do so simultaneously.
What are the items of pregnancy preparation examination
Pre pregnancy examination is for both husband and wife, and it is not possible for one person to undergo the examination. As long as the following aspects are met:
1. Routine hematological examination
This examination can determine the level of hemoglobin, and anemia can be treated first; Platelet values can also be obtained. Platelets are related to coagulation function, and excessive or insufficient platelets can cause bleeding. Therefore, people with platelet problems need to be treated first before they are suitable for pregnancy; This examination can also measure the size of red blood cells (MCV), which can help detect carriers of thalassemia.
2. Syphilis serum test and AIDS virus test
This is a test for two types of sexually transmitted diseases. Syphilis can affect the fetus, but fortunately syphilis can be treated. As long as it is completely cured, pregnancy can be carried out with peace of mind; AIDS is troublesome, but at least don't let this adult Black Death affect the next generation, and don't let innocent AIDS babies come to this world.
3. Measles antibody test
Getting measles during pregnancy can cause fetal abnormalities, so it is best for expectant mothers without antibodies to receive measles vaccination first. However, it should be noted that pregnancy cannot occur within three months after vaccination, so contraceptive measures should be taken.
4. Hepatitis B examination
Hepatitis B itself does not affect the fetus, even if the mother is highly contagious or a carrier of hepatitis B antigen, newborns can receive immunoglobulin protection immediately after birth. But it is always reassuring to know whether you are a carrier of hepatitis B antigen before pregnancy. If you are neither a carrier nor have antibodies, you can first receive hepatitis B vaccine for prevention. Prevention is better than treatment.
When is the preconception test done? It is best to have a check-up at 3-6 months, and if there are any physical problems, there is a time for treatment. In addition to the quality of eggs and sperm, routine tests such as blood tests and syphilis serum tests are also essential for preparing for pregnancy. Only by doing these checks well can we reduce the pain for the baby.
