After a woman becomes pregnant, she must actively go to the hospital for examination. When checking the body in early pregnancy, there is one essential test that must be done, which is thyroid function examination. Some pregnant women have great doubts about this examination and feel that it is not necessary to undergo it. Why did the doctor ask for a nail test when she was pregnant?
During the first three months of pregnancy, the fetal thyroid gland has not yet developed. The central nervous system and skeletal development of the fetus are stimulated by obtaining thyroid hormones from the mother. If the thyroid function of pregnant women is low, it will cause insufficient secretion of thyroid hormones, which will also affect the nervous system and bone development of the fetus. Therefore, it is necessary to check the thyroid function during pregnancy.
If pregnant women do not check their thyroid function in a timely manner, insufficient secretion of thyroid hormones cannot be detected in a timely manner. Therefore, pregnant women must actively cooperate with doctors to test their thyroid function, in order to avoid affecting the intellectual development of the fetus due to hypothyroidism.
From the perspective of eugenics and child rearing, it is recommended that pregnant women undergo timely thyroid function tests, which can help give birth to a healthy and intelligent baby. If thyroid hormone deficiency is found during pregnancy, pregnant women must take medication in a timely manner and not blindly refuse medication, otherwise it may have a worse impact on the health of the fetus.
